From: Chuhong Yuan <hslester96@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ff8ce319e9c25e920d994cc35236f0bb32dfc8f3 ] This driver calls kthread_run() in probe, but forgets to call kthread_stop() in probe failure and remove. Add the missed kthread_stop() to fix it. Signed-off-by: Chuhong Yuan <hslester96@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
