Depends whether or not the add() has been done to hook things into the driver model tree, as I recall. The add() presumes things are properly refcounted. When you make a driver model tree node vanish, its associated refcounts get updated too. - Dave _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
