You mean 2.6.39-rc2 right? I'm asking because I hit the same warning
with 39-rc2 now too but it didn't appear with .38 - so it has to have
snuck in after the merge window. If so, you don't need the stable tag.
You were right, just tested plain 2.6.38 and it doesn't happen. So I
removed the stable tag. Here is the updated patch.

Subject: [PATCH] USB host: Fix lockdep warning in AMD PLL quirk
Booting 2.6.38 on my test machine produces a lockdep warning
You've just said that this doesn't happen with plain 2.6.38...
from the usb_amd_find_chipset_info() function:
WARNING: at /data/lemmy/linux.trees.git/kernel/lockdep.c:2465 lockdep_trace_alloc+0x95/0xc2()
Hardware name: Snook
Modules linked in:
Pid: 959, comm: work_for_cpu Not tainted 2.6.39-rc2+ #22

...
It turns out that this function calls pci_get_device under a spin_lock
with irqs disabled, but the pci_get_device function is only allowed in
preemptible context.
This patch fixes the warning by making all data-structure
modifications on temporal storage and commiting this back
into the visible structure at the end. While at it, this
patch also moves the pci_dev_put calls out of the spinlocks
because this function might sleep too.

Haven't you just set this to NULL?
