From: Sudip Mukherjee Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 11:57:21 +0000 (+0530) Subject: auxdisplay: ks0108: fix refcount X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3679^2~133 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6fdfca2c195b40993d75246991a1fe55602ee617;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git auxdisplay: ks0108: fix refcount commit bab383de3b84e584b0f09227151020b2a43dc34c upstream. parport_find_base() will implicitly do parport_get_port() which increases the refcount. Then parport_register_device() will again increment the refcount. But while unloading the module we are only doing parport_unregister_device() decrementing the refcount only once. We add an parport_put_port() to neutralize the effect of parport_get_port().
