You can't do that. dev->dev.driver_data is used by this very driver itself to store its own data, or alternatively the parport_serial driver to store its private data. Therefore, dev->dev.driver_data will be corrupted between your _init function setting it and your _exit function using it. Suggest you read the iobase back from the device to release it. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
