[PATCH -next] staging: nvec: don't call input_free_device() after input_unregister_device()

[PATCH -next] staging: nvec: don't call input_free_device() after input_unregister_device()

[Wei Yongjun]

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei-zrsr2BFq86L20UzCJQGyNP8+0UxHXcjY@public.gmane.org>

input_free_device() should only be used if input_register_device()
was not called yet or if it failed. Once device was unregistered
use input_unregister_device() and memory will be freed once last
reference to the device is dropped.

Hi Greg and Wei,
I sent patch which converts nvec-kbd to managed device (devm_*), so
this patch is not needed.

Thanks.

we should not confuse things again. I think Greg can merge the various patches 
(from Wei, me, and yours) in a first-come-first-serve order as he always does 
and resolve the (trivial) merge conflicts himself. I guess he won't respond 
until -rc1 is out. Beside this, I'm not sure if your patch can still go into 
3.10 so it may have to wait till 3.11.

There is no hurry to apply my patch, and I believe it will apply
without merge conflict at all. My patch removes line with
input_free_device also.

I agree, yours is the correct fix for this, I'll take your patch
instead.
