From: Jim Baxter <jim_baxter@xxxxxxxxxx> The struct ffs_data::private_data has a pointer to ffs_dev stored in it during the ffs_fs_mount() function however it is not cleared when the ffs_dev is freed later which causes the ffs_closed function to crash with "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" error when using the data in ffs_data::private_data. This clears this pointer during the ffs_free_dev clean up function.
