Subject: [patch 17/17] drivers/input/serio/hp_sdc.c: fix crash when removing hp_sdc module
Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:19:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901092019.n09KJvQB017352@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)

From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

On parisc machines, which don't have HIL, removing the hp_sdc module
panics the kernel.  Fix this by returning early in hp_sdc_exit() if no HP
SDC controller was found.

Add functionality to probe for the hp_sdc_mlc kernel module (which takes
care of the upper layer HIL functionality on parisc) after two seconds. 
This is needed to get all the other HIL drivers (keyboard / mouse/ ..)
drivers automatically loaded by udev later as well.
