Subject: [ 06/11] b43: Fix oops on unload when firmware not found
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 10:06:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121102170314.673624996@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121102170314.204845540@linuxfoundation.org>
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>
commit f89ff6441df06abc2d95f3ef67525923032d6283 upstream.
When b43 fails to find firmware when loaded, a subsequent unload will
oops due to calling ieee80211_unregister_hw() when the corresponding
register call was never made.
Commit 2d838bb608e2d1f6cb4280e76748cb812dc822e7 fixed the same problem
for b43legacy.
