From 655816e49867082d13ece0da31d76e12cc0de4a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 01:32:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Input: fix input module refcounting Now that input_free_device is basically an alias for input_put_device we need to acquire a reference to input module right when we allocate device because input_dev_release releases reference to input module unconditionally.
