Staging: bcm: fix up network device reference counting
The way network devices are reference counted does not include poking around in the reference count itself. This breaks when the reference count is changed to be a different type. Fix the driver to do the proper function calls instead. Cc: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
