[PATCH 2/30] W1: abort search early on on exit

From: David Fries
Date: Wed Jul 30 2008 - 22:48:58 EST


Early abort if the master driver or the hardware goes away in the
middle of a bus search operation. The alternative is to spam the
print buffer up to 64*64 times with read errors in the case of USB.
