[106/117] V4L/DVB: budget: Oops: "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference"

[Greg KH]

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@xxxxxxx>

commit 6f550dc08369ee0bc6402963c377e65f0f2e3b71 upstream.

Never call dvb_frontend_detach if we failed to attach a frontend. This fixes
the following oops, which will be triggered by a missing stv090x module:

[    8.172997] DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget S2-1600 PCI)
[    8.209018] adapter has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:cc:a7:29
[    8.328665] Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[    8.328753] Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: setting latency timer to 64
[    8.562047] DVB: Unable to find symbol stv090x_attach()
[    8.562117] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000ac
[    8.562239] IP: [<e08b04a3>] dvb_frontend_detach+0x4/0x67 [dvb_core]
