From 3955dfa8216f712bc204a5ad2f4e51efff252fde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:37:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: bug-fix NULL pointer dereference on failed attach Commit dcd7b8bd63cb81c5b973bf86510ca3c80bbbd162 ("staging: comedi: put module _after_ detach" by myself) reversed a couple of calls in `comedi_device_attach()` when recovering from an error returned by the low-level driver's 'attach' handler. Unfortunately, that introduced a NULL pointer dereference bug as `dev->driver` is NULL after the call to `comedi_device_detach()`. We still have a pointer to the low-level comedi driver structure in the `driv` variable, so use that instead.
