Subject: [PATCH] of/device: Protect against binding of_platform_drivers to non-OF devices
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:24:07 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100722222407.21517.46568.stgit@angua> (raw)

There is an unlikely chance of this situation is occurring, but it is
easy to protect against.  If a matching entry cannot be found in the
of_match_table, then don't bind the driver.
