[PATCH] extcon: driver model release call not needed

From: anish kumar
Date: Sun Oct 21 2012 - 00:47:03 EST


From: anish kumar <anish198519851985@xxxxxxxxx>

There was a case where free and list_del can be called twice
on the same pointer.So fixed it by re-arranging the code and
removing a function which was not needed.
