Based on commit b27393aecf66199f5ddad37c302d3e0cfadbe6c0 Calling mdiobus_free without calling mdiobus_unregister causes BUG_ON(). This patch fixes the issue. The semantic patch that found this issue(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // <smpl> @@ expression E; @@ ... when != mdiobus_unregister(E); + mdiobus_unregister(E); mdiobus_free(E); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> --- This problem is somewhat mystifying. If the patch is correct, there were probably many OOPSese caused by not calling mdiobus_unregister...
