The patch titled Char: correct pci_get_device changes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is char-correct-pci_get_device-changes.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Char: correct pci_get_device changes From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxx> correct pci_get_device changes Commits 881a8c120acf7ec09c90289e2996b7c70f51e996 and efe1ec27837d6639eae82e1f5876910ba6433c3f corrects pci device matching in only one way; it no longer oopses/crashes, despite hotplug is not solved in these changes. Whenever pci_find_device -> pci_get_device change is performed, also pci_dev_get and pci_dev_put should be in most cases called to properly handle hotplug. This patch does exactly this thing -- increase refcount to let kernel know, that we are using this piece of HW just now. It affects moxa and rio char drivers.
