From d1dd0c23916bd781de27bc5ec1c295064e9ce9cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paulo Marques Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 22:39:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [ACPI] fix kmalloc size bug in acpi/video.c acpi_video_device_find_cap() used &p instead of *p when calculating storage size, thus allocating only 4 or 8 bytes instead of 12... Also, kfree(NULL) is legal, so remove some unneeded checks.
