Re: [PATCH 1/12] drivers/isdn/hisax/avm_pci.c: replace pci_find_devicewith pci_get_device

To be more clear, your solution is incorrect unless the pci_dev_put() occurs after the last reference to hw.{elsa,diva,hfc,njet,...}.dev, which is where the HiSax ISDN drivers store their reference to struct pci_dev during the runtime life of the PCI device.

Am I missing where your patch does this?

By way of further interest, a few hours _before_ (yes, really) I saw your patches, I resumed converting the ISDN HiSax PCI drivers to use the PCI driver API. You can find this work in git://git.kernel.org/.../jgarzik/misc-2.6.git#isdn-pci.

If you fix your patches' lifetime problems, I will ACK them myself, since my effort is a spare time effort. But just wanted you to be aware that I am deep into the code you are fixing, and can at least speak somewhat knowledgeably on the specific lines of code you are changing.
