Why were we doing this type of thing before with the "not > allocated" flag? It seems that we were protecting some path that I > can't remember at the moment. So to be safe, I'll leave it for now... It was and is only used when releasing the serial struct to check whether minors had been allocated or not at probe and if return_serial (release_minors) should be called. This in done in destroy_serial just before freeing the struct, so clearing the flag is redundant, but doesn't hurt anyone, I guess. ;) Johan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
