Subject: [PATCH] release_firmware() fixes
Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 15:18:13 +0900 (JST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060705062033.6692.14131.sendpatchset@cherry.local> (raw)
Use release_firmware() to free requested resources.
According to Documentation/firmware_class/README the request_firmware() call
should be followed by a release_firmware(). Some drivers do not however free
the firmware previously allocated with request_firmware(). This patch tries to
fix this by making sure that release_firmware() is used as expected.
