[PATCH] Fix a data abort with fec_imx

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric Benard <ebenard@1720eb.(none)>

edev was allocated using malloc. On one board (NOR boot), we met data abort
in eth_register (at dev_add_param(dev, &edev->param_ip);).
Allocating edev with xzalloc (as in several other drivers) fixed the problem.
