Subject: [PATCH] cx88-dvb avoid dangling core->gate_ctrl pointer
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2011 23:59:20 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111215055920.GA3948@spacedout.fries.net> (raw)

From: David Fries <David@Fries.net>

dvb_register calls videobuf_dvb_register_bus, but if that returns
a failure the module will be unloaded without clearing the
value of core->gate_ctrl which will cause an oops in macros
called from video_open in cx88-video.c

This is with 3.2.0-rc5+, and it only fixes the oops, it doesn't
resolve why cx88-dvb failed to work.  Any ideas?
