[PATCH] [184/275] hwmon/f71882fg: Set platform drvdata to NULL later

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed Mar 30 2011 - 17:30:43 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d9ebaa45472c92704f4814682eec21455edcfa1f upstream.

This avoids a possible race leading to trying to dereference NULL.
