From d91c088b39e3c66d309938de858775bb90fd1ead Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Righi Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 12:40:57 -0400 Subject: [netdrvr] depca: handle platform_device_add() failure 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().
