Subject[PATCH 2.6] Fix OOPS in device_platform_unregister
Date
Hi,

The following patch should fix the oops reported by Denis. We can safely
move call to device_unregister as the release fucntion is not guaranteed
to be called immediately and therefore should not access resources anyway.

ChangeSet@1.1819, 2004-07-10 22:08:01-05:00, dtor_core@ameritech.net
Driver core: platform_device_unregister should release resources first
and only then call device_unregister, otherwise if there
are no more references to the device it will be freed and
the fucntion will try to access freed memory.
