Subject: [PATCH 3.4 09/92] auxdisplay: ks0108: fix refcount

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@...il.com>

3.4.112-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit bab383de3b84e584b0f09227151020b2a43dc34c upstream.

parport_find_base() will implicitly do parport_get_port() which
increases the refcount. Then parport_register_device() will again
increment the refcount. But while unloading the module we are only
doing parport_unregister_device() decrementing the refcount only once.
We add an parport_put_port() to neutralize the effect of
parport_get_port().
