[PATCH 1/2] ps3fb: prevent use after free of fb_info

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Fri Jan 11 2008 - 08:28:47 EST


From: Jeremy Kerr <jk@xxxxxxxxxx>

In ps3fb_shutdown, freeing the framebuffer will cause fb_info (in
dev->core.driver_data) to be free()ed, which we potentially access
from the ps3fbd kthread.

This change frees the framebuffer after stopping the ps3fbd kthread.
