From 2c119aa8091a15a87920f09aa0f17e05960fe11b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 21:22:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [DRIVER MODEL] Fix sgivwfb Statically allocated devices in module data is a potential cause of oopsen. The device may be in use by a userspace process, which will keep a reference to the device. If the module is unloaded, the module data will be freed. Subsequent use of the platform device will cause a kernel oops. Use generic platform device allocation/release code in modules.
