From 33a470f6d5e1879c26f16f6b34dc09f82d44f6e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 04:00:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] macintosh/therm_adt746x: Fix sysfs attributes lifetime Looking at drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c, the sysfs files are created in thermostat_init() and removed in thermostat_exit(), which are the driver's init and exit functions. These files are backed-up by a per-device structure, so it looks like the wrong thing to do: the sysfs files have a lifetime longer than the data structure that is backing it up. I think that sysfs files creation should be moved to the end of probe_thermostat() and sysfs files removal should be moved to the beginning of remove_thermostat().
