as we do a strcpy(smdrv_ptr->fb_struct->fix->id, name), and the name here in sm7xxx_probe is not having any assignment, and which leads to copying of the garbage value into the id field of the fix struct of fb interface struct. fix it by copying the name before calling alloc_fbinfo Signed-off-by: Devendra Naga <develkernel412222@xxxxxxxxx> --- Only compile tested This patch is not tested using the hardware... if any one is having this hardware, i request them to please test this drivers/staging/sm7xxfb/sm7xxfb.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/sm7xxfb/sm7xxfb.c b/drivers/staging/sm7xxfb/sm7xxfb.c index 1c1780c..d3957ef 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/sm7xxfb/sm7xxfb.c +++ b/drivers/staging/sm7xxfb/sm7xxfb.c @@ -798,16 +798,17 @@ static int __devinit smtcfb_pci_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, if (err) return err; + sprintf(name, "sm%Xfb", ent->device); + sfb = smtc_alloc_fb_info(pdev, name); + sfb->chip_id = ent->device; + if (!sfb) { err = -ENOMEM; goto failed_free; } - sfb->chip_id = ent->device; - sprintf(name, "sm%Xfb", sfb->chip_id); - pci_set_drvdata(pdev, sfb); sm7xx_init_hw(); -- 1.7.9.5 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
