Subject: [PATCH] [Patch v2] usbtv: Fix refcounting mixup
Date: Tue, 15 May 2018 15:07:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180515130744.19342-1-oneukum@suse.com> (raw)

The premature free in the error path is blocked by V4L
refcounting, not USB refcounting. Thanks to
Ben Hutchings for review.

[v2] corrected attributions

Fixes: 50e704453553 ("media: usbtv: prevent double free in error case")
