[patch] 2.4.2-pre3: parport_pc init_module bug

From: Tim Waugh (twaugh@redhat.com)
Date: Tue Feb 13 2001 - 18:43:49 EST


Linus,

Here's a patch that fixes a bug that can cause PCI driver list
corruption. If parport_pc's init_module fails after it calls
pci_register_driver, cleanup_module isn't called and so it's still
registered when it gets unloaded.

Tim.
