fbdev/ep93xx-fb: Do not assign to struct fb_info.dev
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit f90a0e5 upstream.

Do not assing the Linux device to struct fb_info.dev. The call to
register_framebuffer() initializes the field to the fbdev device.
Drivers should not override its value.

Fixes a bug where the driver incorrectly decreases the hardware
device's reference counter and leaks the fbdev device.
