Yes, honestly the main intent of this patch is to offer a stable
ground for correct handling of periph. When looking about refcounting
them correctly, the main problem is that there was no initial
condition assuring safety, and the initial patch should address this,
but I'm sure there are places where periph refcount is not handled
correctly and this may be one.

Thanks,
Attilio
