+ ^ The status_chg property is on the stack. You can’t do that, because after you go out of scope the property is garbage. You should dynamically allocate. I bet that even after you fix that you’ll crash anyway. Note is that on many platforms the path of removing platform devices is borken. I see that you’re using PM, that’s even more problematic. The good news is that we can probably fix it if you give us a detailed log and stack trace. > + // Use an active adapter here > + adap = i2c_get_adapter(0); > + if (!adap) > + return -EPROBE_DEFER; > + > + np = adap->dev.of_node; > + > + i2c_put_adapter(adap); > + > + of_changeset_init(&chgset); > + of_changeset_update_property(&chgset, np, &status_chg); > + > + mutex_lock(&of_mutex); > + ret = of_changeset_apply(&chgset); > + mutex_unlock(&of_mutex); > + > + return ret; > +} > +late_initcall(test_init); > + > +MODULE_AUTHOR("Wolfram Sang <wsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"); > +MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2"); > -- > 2.1.4 > Regards — Pantelis -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
