[PATCH 2/2] ipmi_ssif: Fix crash seen while ipmi_unregister_smi
From: George Cherian
Date: Fri Aug 24 2018 - 07:10:49 EST
Dont set ssif_info->intf to NULL before ipmi_unresgiter_smi.
shutdown_ssif will anyways free ssif_info.
Following crash is obsearved if ssif_info->intf is set to NULL
before ipmi_unregister_smi.
