em28xx: ir-kbd-i2c init data needs a persistent object
commit d2ebd0f8 upstream. Original commit message: ir-kbd-i2c's ir_probe() function can be called much later (i.e. at ir-kbd-i2c module load), than the lifetime of a struct IR_i2c_init_data allocated off of the stack in cx18_i2c_new_ir() at registration time. Make sure we pass a pointer to a persistent IR_i2c_init_data object at i2c registration time. Thanks to Brian Rogers, Dustin Mitchell, Andy Walls and Jean Delvare to rise this question. Before this patch, if ir-kbd-i2c were probed after em28xx, trash data were used. After the patch, no matter what order, it is properly reported as tested by me: input: i2c IR (i2c IR (EM2840 Hauppaug as /class/input/input10 ir-kbd-i2c: i2c IR (i2c IR (EM2840 Hauppaug detected at i2c-4/4-0030/ir0 [em28xx #0] Original-patch-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> [brian@xyzw.org: backported for 2.6.31] Signed-off-by: Brian Rogers <brian@xyzw.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
