Subject: [PATCH 0/2] MCB: two additional fixes for v4.7

Hi Greg,

Here are two additional fixes for MCB from me, which would be good to have in
v4.7.

One fixes a panic when doing a insmod/rmmod loop and one grabs a reference to
the carrier driver's module as long as client drivers are loaded.

Both bugs have been reported by Andy and he tested the fixes as well.

Sorry for being so close to the merge window.

  mcb: Acquire reference to device in probe
  mcb: Acquire reference to carrier module in core
