From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Platform_device_del should be called before platform_device_put, as platform_device_put can delete the structure. Additionally, improve the error handling code for the call to ioremap, so that it calls platform_device_put. The semantic match that finds this problem is: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression e1,e2; @@ *platform_device_put(e1); ... when != e1 = e2 *platform_device_del(e1); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- Is an ioremap needed also?
