Likewise.

This is not the same.

I think you're missing that I also decrement if (hvcsd->open_count > 1) If not, please elaborate.

Yes, sorry, I missed that.

Why are we no longer decrementing hvcsd->open_count in the cases where it is greater than 1?

Ditto with hp->count here?

Also, I don't see why those changes have anything to do with "unsigned things cannot be negative". As long as those counts are never zero on entry to those code sections, the existing code is fine, and I believe that assertion can be maintained. If you believe the code needs to defend against the possibility of a zero count on entry, that should have been explicitly stated in the patch description.

See the tty_port patches in -next - this is an argument about code which ought eventually to go away replaced by standard helper functions.

OK. In that case I think the best fix for the existing code is just to change the count to be int rather than unsigned int.
