Subject: [PATCH] media: au0828: Convert BUG_ON to WARN_ONCE
Date: Sun,  8 Apr 2012 18:19:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333927151-13014-1-git-send-email-Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> (raw)

In the mail thread at http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2012-April/331164.html,
a kernel crash is triggered when trying to run mythtv with a HVR950Q tuner.
The crash condition is due to res_free() being called to free something that
has is not reserved. The actual reason for this mismatch of reserve/free is
not known; however, using a BUG_ON rather than a WARN_ON seems unfortunate.
