From 76823b791d867c2ab563c237f188d0cbb4ced6e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guennadi Liakhovetski Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 12:54:54 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB (13132): fix use-after-free Oops, resulting from a driver-core API change Commit b4028437876866aba4747a655ede00f892089e14 has broken again re-use of device objects across device_register() / device_unregister() cycles. Fix soc-camera by nullifying the struct after device_unregister().
