[PATCH v2 12/12] drm/fb-helper: generic: Don't take module ref for fbcon

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's now safe to let fbcon unbind automatically on fbdev unregister.
The crash problem was fixed in commit 2122b40580dd
("fbdev: fbcon: Fix unregister crash when more than one framebuffer")
