This entry asked to rename all drm core "*_reference/_unrefence"
functions to "*_get/_put".

Now that this task is complete, we can remove this entry from the TODO
list.

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.
