From b33d0798e6cfae1fcee75afc808fe5690a48a814 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2006 23:00:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] scx200_acb: Fix resource name use after free We can't pass a string on the stack to request_region. As soon as we leave the function that stack is gone and the string is lost. Let's use the same string we identify the i2c_adapter with instead, it's more simple, more consistent, and just works. This is the second half of fix to bug #6445.
