    virtio: store owner from modules with register_virtio_driver() · ffe6176b
    Krzysztof Kozlowski authored
    Modules registering driver with register_virtio_driver() might forget to
    set .owner field.  i2c-virtio.c for example has it missing.  The field
    is used by some other kernel parts for reference counting
    (try_module_get()), so it is expected that drivers will set it.
    
    Solve the problem by moving this task away from the drivers to the core
    virtio code, just like we did for platform_driver in
    commit 9447057e ("platform_device: use a macro instead of
    platform_driver_register").
