Re: [PATCH v6 02/10] Revert "drm/qxl: do not run release if qxl failed to init"

[Tong Zhang <ztong0001@gmail.com>]

Hi Thomas,

The original problem was qxl_device_init() can fail,
when it fails there is no need to call 
	qxl_modeset_fini(qdev);
	qxl_device_fini(qdev);
But those two functions are otherwise called in the qxl_drm_release() -

I have posted an updated patch.
The new patch use the following logic

+	if (!qdev->ddev.mode_config.funcs)
+	  return;
	qxl_modeset_fini(qdev);
	qxl_device_fini(qdev);

Thanks,
- Tong
