Ok I'll do.

Answering both of the above, users++ is protected by scmi_list_mutex as it
was already and the reason for moving the get in a separate function is to
able to call it with mutex alrady acquired, so both here from scmi_handle_get(),
which acquires itself that mutex, BUT also from scmi_request_protocol_device()
which acquires already the mutex while scanning the list of all the existing
scmi instances; it is a sort of get_handle_unlocked but since I changed
also the param from dev to info (since I have it already) I named it get_from_info
instead. I could add a get_from_info_unlocked(0 to clarify the intent.

I'll rework all of the above and post the whole series on top of for-next-scmi +
Jonathan immutable branch locally merged.

Thanks
