Subject: [PATCH] fix for depca driver
Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 00:34:59 +0200 (MEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4612D68D.9090103@cineca.it> (raw)
Hi all,
the following patch fixes a kernel bug in depca_platform_probe().
We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems
that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is
to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before
calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by
platform_device_release().
-Andrea
