Subject: [patch v2] mtd/docg3: dereferencing an ERR_PTR() in docg3_probe()
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:53:13 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111128134947.GK21128@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87r50vi20u.fsf@free.fr>

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1392 bytes --]

If doc_probe_device() returned an ERR_PTR, then we accidentally saved
that to docg3_floors[floor] = mtd; which gets derefenced in the error
handling when we call doc_release_device().

I've reworked the error handling to take care of that and hopefully
make it a little simpler.
