From f5b31e15acd1ab2fd9b9022c29a66f4625fa5658 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2013 14:58:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: call comedi_release_hardware_device() on error If `comedi_auto_config()` fails after allocating the minor device, call `comedi_release_hardware_device()` instead of `comedi_free_board_minor()` to free the minor device. That's the same call that `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses, and is slightly safer as it checks the minor device number is still tied to the same hardware device.
