Subject: [PATCH] dcdbas: dcdbas_pdev referenced after platform_device_unregister on exit
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc6~44
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=435a80f610b2ac38a4b5334a7ae22672de3f06bd;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] dcdbas: dcdbas_pdev referenced after platform_device_unregister on exit

smi_data_buf_free() references dcdbas_pdev when calling
dma_free_coherent().  In dcdbas_exit(), smi_data_buf_free() is called after
platform_device_unregister(dcdbas_pdev).

This patch moves platform_device_unregister(dcdbas_pdev) after
smi_data_buf_free() in dcdbas_exit().
