Subject: [PATCH] hgafb: fix module removal
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 20:39:05 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080602163905.GA15128@polina.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <299882843@web.de>

We should allocate platform device dynamically, otherwise it can't be removed.

Also, back in time it was acceptable to mix devices and platform_devices,
today this might cause all sort of bugs. Fix that too.

This patch was build-tested only.

It should be just trivially fixed. Here is the patch, I can only build
test it though.
