Touching dvb-usb core doesn't seem the right fix here, as it will
affect all other drivers that depend on it.
Basically, when a driver returns an error, it has to cleanup
whatever it did, as the core has no way to know where the
error happened inside the driver logic.
The problem seems to be at cinergyt2_frontend_attach() instead:
adap->fe_adap[0].fe = cinergyt2_fe_attach(adap->dev);
mutex_lock(&d->data_mutex);
st->data[0] = CINERGYT2_EP1_GET_FIRMWARE_VERSION;
ret = dvb_usb_generic_rw(d, st->data, 1, st->data, 3, 0);
if (ret < 0) {
deb_rc("cinergyt2_power_ctrl() Failed to retrieve sleep state info\n");
}
mutex_unlock(&d->data_mutex);
/* Copy this pointer as we are gonna need it in the release phase */
cinergyt2_usb_device = adap->dev;
return ret;
See, this driver returns an error if it fails to talk with the hardware
when it calls dvb_usb_generic_rw(). Yet, it doesn't cleanup its own mess,
as it keeps the frontend attached. The right fix would be to call
cinergyt2_fe_release() if ret < 0.
E. g., the above code should be, instead:
if (ret < 0) {
fe->ops.release(adap->fe_adap[0].fe);
deb_rc("cinergyt2_power_ctrl() Failed to retrieve sleep state info\n");
}
Thanks,
Mauro
