[PATCH] HID: hidraw: fixed hidraw_disconnect()

From: Stefan Achatz
Date: Fri Jan 28 2011 - 20:17:41 EST


hidraw_disconnect() first sets an entry in hidraw_table to NULL
and calls device_destroy() afterwards. The thereby called
hidraw_release() tries to read this already cleared value resulting
in never removing any device from the list.
This got fixed by changing the order of events.

Maybe commit 0a504541b3ba593535d70f3124546e5e471a175e should be
undone if the talkativeness was misdiagnosed due to this error.
