NAME
       get_device - increment reference count for device.

SYNOPSIS
       struct device * get_device(struct device * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
           device.

DESCRIPTION
       This simply forwards the call to kobject_get, though we do take care to provide for the
       case that we get a NULL pointer passed in.
