From 161e232b8823e230d4fdf8064e606bbdf26f47e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 15:25:04 -0800 Subject: Revert "driver core: refcounting fix" This reverts commit 63ce18cfe685115ff8d341bae4c9204a79043cf0. It was the incorrect fix and causes a reference counting bug whenever any driver module is removed from the system. Mike Galbraith is looking for the real fix for his problem.
