[PATCH 2.6.16.44] ieee1394: dv1394: fix CardBus card ejection

From: Stefan Richter
Date: Sun Mar 25 2007 - 15:26:37 EST


Fix NULL pointer dereference on hot ejection of a FireWire card while
dv1394 was loaded. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7121
I did not test card ejection with open /dev/dv1394 files yet.
