[PATCH] rtc-tps65910: fix invalid pointer access on _remove()

From: Kim, Milo
Date: Wed Nov 28 2012 - 21:06:38 EST


The tps65910_rtc data is registered as the platform driver data in _probe().
Therefore the tps65910_rtc should be used on unregistering the rtc device.
And device pointer should be retrieved from the platform_device structure.

This patch fixes the error as below.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
