Thanks, I'll add this line in.

I'm not sure how to resolve this warning. The purpose of this lock is to
limit chrdev to a single open at a time. To accomplish this I grab this
lock in counter_chrdev_open() and hold it until counter_chrdev_release()
is called. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
