Subject: [PATCH rdma-next v2 3/5] RDMA/bnxt_re: Get rid of custom module reference counting

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2021 09:57:13 +0300

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email-masked]>

Instead of manually messing with parent driver module reference
counting rely on export symbol mechanism to ensure that proper
probe/remove chain is performed.
