Subject: ACPI: dock: fix opps after dock driver fails to initialize
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=22fe4c2114e29477ca6738729c074ee8f60d3b73;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ACPI: dock: fix opps after dock driver fails to initialize

The driver tests the dock_station pointer for nonnull
to check whether it has initialized properly. But in
some cases dock_station will be non-null after being
freed when driver init fails. Fix by zeroing the
pointer after freeing.
