		Switch from reference/unreference to get/put
		--------------------------------------------

		For some reason DRM core uses ``reference``/``unreference`` suffixes for
		refcounting functions, but kernel uses ``get``/``put`` (e.g.
		``kref_get``/``put()``). It would be good to switch over for consistency, and
		it's shorter. Needs to be done in 3 steps for each pair of functions:

		* Create new ``get``/``put`` functions, define the old names as compatibility
		wrappers
		* Switch over each file/driver using a cocci-generated spatch.
		* Once all users of the old names are gone, remove them.

		This way drivers/patches in the progress of getting merged won't break.
