[PATCH] Fix unload oops and memory leak in yealink driver

From: Henk Vergonet
Date: Thu Sep 07 2006 - 19:43:17 EST


I hope we can schedule this for inclusion in 2.6.18 as many users have
reported problems with kernel oops-en while unloading the driver.

(tested on 2.6.18-rc6)

Description:

This patch fixes a memory leak and a kernel oops when trying to unload
the driver, due to an unbalanced cleanup.
Thanks Ivar Jensen for spotting my mistake.
