While that was the case before, it might be better and more consistent to always set it to NULL. I also wonder if it is really necessary to call watchdog_dev_unregister() first. Something like destroy_device: device_destroy(watchdog_class, devno); unregister_watchdog: wdd->dev = NULL; watchdog_dev_unregister(wdd); would be cleaner. Wonder why it isn't done in that order to start with. It should be possible; after all, the device is created only after watchdog_dev_register() succeeded, so one should think that it makes sense to remove it first. Any idea ?
