It does, see e.g. drm_mode_set_config_internal. All the other places also
do it.

Drivers _only_ need to do their own refcounting if they do asynchronous
updates (pageflips or asynchronous modesets). Which omap does (and iirc
msm for pageflips). But if that need is common we should have some helpers
for this (like the drm flip queue as guidelines or in the future atomic
helpers which will take care of everything).
