From 34173a4aad7a641e72b70f9927ca797746fbce69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miguel Ojeda Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 13:58:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] cfag12864b: fix crash when built-in and no parport present The problem comes when ks0108/cfag12864b are built-in and no parallel port is present. ks0108_init() is called first, as it should be, but fails to load (as there is no parallel port to use). After that, cfag12864b_init() gets called, without knowing anything about ks0108 failed, and calls ks0108_writecontrol(), which dereferences an uninitialized pointer. Init order is OK, I think. The problem is how to stop cfag12864b_init() being called if ks0108 failed to load. modprobe does it for us, but, how when built-in?
