Subject: [PATCH] ppc32: Fix crash on load in DACA sound driver
Date: Wed, 03 Mar 2004 08:30:54 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1078263053.21573.176.camel@gaston> (raw)
Hi !
The DACA sound driver (early iBook models) doesn't clear the i2c_client
structure. That cause the embedded struct device (and thus kobject) to
contain garbage in the "k_name" field, which kobject_set_name will
later try to kfree...
Also removes references to unused struct data_data.
