Oliver,
The following changes are for review only not a formal patch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&usb->i2c_lock) == 0) {
+ mutex_lock(&usb->i2c_lock);
data = kzalloc(16, GFP_KERNEL);

+ if(data == NULL) {
+ i2c_unregister_device(audio);
+ kfree(state);
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ } else {
int rc;
rc = go7007_usb_vendor_request(go, 0x41, 0, 0,
data, 16, 1);
@@ -657,7 +661,7 @@ static int s2250_probe(struct i2c_client *client,
kfree(data);
}
mutex_unlock(&usb->i2c_lock);
- }
+
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it ok ?
regards
Santosh
