Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 65/66] net: ethernet: davinci_emac: Fix platform_data overwrite

3.19.8-ckt20 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Neil Armstrong <narmstrong@...libre.com>

commit 210990b05a1247886539078e857cd038881bb2d6 upstream.

When the DaVinci emac driver is removed and re-probed, the actual
pdev->dev.platform_data is populated with an unwanted valid pointer saved by
the previous davinci_emac_of_get_pdata() call, causing a kernel crash when
calling priv->int_disable() in emac_int_disable().

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c8622a80
