[PATCH] dnet: fix wrong use of platform_set_drvdata()

From: Ilya Yanok
Date: Mon Feb 21 2011 - 15:20:50 EST


platform_set_drvdata() was used with argument of incorrect type and
could cause memory corruption. Moreover, because of not setting drvdata
in the correct place not all resources were freed upon module unload.
