3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>

commit cadf84bfeb80e216fde328d357fe856160157d2c upstream.

When attaching a PCI device manually via the comedi driver `attach` hook
(`pci224_attach()`) (called by the comedi core for the
`COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl), its reference count is incremented in the
`for_each_pci_dev` loop (in `pci224_find_pci_dev()`). It is decremented
when the `detach` hook (`pci224_detach()`) is called to detach the
device. However, when the PCI device is attached automatically via the
`attach_pci` hook (`pci224_attach_pci()`, called at probe time via
`comedi_pci_auto_config()`) it's reference count is not incremented so
there will be an unmatched decrement when detaching the device.

Increment the PCI device reference count in `pci224_attach_pci()` to
correct the mismatch.

Once support for manual configuration has been removed from this driver,
the calls to `pci_dev_get()` and `pci_dev_put()` can be removed.
