Subject: [PATCH v2] hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix fan_ctrl_init error path
Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2010 16:41:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289292108.28671.1.camel@mola> (raw)

In current implementation, the sysfs entries is not removed before return -ENODEV.

Creating the sysfs attribute should be the last thing done by the function,
after all the rest has been successful.
Otherwise there is a small window during which user-space can access the attribute
but the driver isn't ready to deal with the requests.

Fix it by moving sysfs_create_group to be the last thing done by the function.
