From d718d2b17822bb92708204cb1a9175e512520261 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 12:26:41 +0200 Subject: USB: fix read vs. disconnect race in cytherm driver the disconnect method of this driver set intfdata to NULL before removing attribute files. The attributes' read methods will happily follow the NULL pointer. Here's the correct ordering.
