The loop runs four iterations and the value after the loop should be indeed the number of channels. atomic_t isn't really used for reference counting here, but storing out how many "channels" there are per hardware device, with maximum number of four (4). I'd leave this driver using atomic_t. > v4l2_info(&dev->v4l2_dev, "V4L2 device registered as %s\n", > video_device_node_name(&vc->vdev)); >

The problem why it cannot be left as inc is because it would do increment from zero here, which is not allowed by refcount_t interface. > atomic_t isn't really used for reference counting here, but storing out how > many "channels" there are per hardware device, with maximum number of four > (4). I'd leave this driver using atomic_t. Yes, sounds like the best thing to do. I will drop this patch. Thank you for reviews!
