[patch 07/24] tipar oops fix

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Daniel Drake <dsd@xxxxxxxxxx>

If compiled into the kernel, parport_register_driver() is called before the
parport driver has been initalised.

This means that it is expected that tp_count is 0 after the
parport_register_driver() call() - tipar's attach function will not be
called until later during bootup.
