Subject: [PATCH] Driver core: fix error handling in device_bind_driver()
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 01:05:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200610120105.56022.dtor@insightbb.com> (raw)
Subject: Driver core: fix error handling in device_bind_driver()
From: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@insightbb.com>
When link creation fails we not only need to signal error
but also remove device from driver's list of bound devices.
