"Signed-off-by" should be after the description. :)
How did I manage that? ;)
Merging un-registering of both the subdevices and the
main comedi device into one function and the module which
actually associated with it. The kernel oops observed before
was because the main device was un-registered first and
then the subdevices which were then no longer valid.
This has been also tested with 'comedi_config -r'.
It might work with 'comedi_config -r' for auto-configured devices, but I
don't think it will work for manually configured "legacy" devices (e.g.
a "comedi_test" device configured by 'comedi_config /dev/comedi0
comedi_test' when the 'comedi_num_legacy_minors' module parameter is
greater than 0). comedi_free_board_dev() wouldn't be called in that case
when the device is unconfigured later, because the legacy comedi devices
persist until the comedi module is unloaded, whereas the auto-configured
comedi devices only persist while the low-level device remains attached
(more or less - they now also persist while referenced by an unreleased
file object).
I guess there is a flag we could check for the legacy drivers? Could you
point me to it and I add it? I can do some work today in between and
then I'm off for a week till 6th Jan.
