Commit: fed1a49232b9cefa81c0fdc4de13b5ff4ab8246c
Gitweb: http://git.linux-mips.org/g/ralf/linux/fed1a49232b9
Branch: linux-2.6.24-stable

If CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP is set to m, the Cobalt mtd.ko module might get
unloaded while the drivers/mtd modules are still loaded resulting in
stale references to the destroyed platform_device instance.

Anyway, platform devices should always be registered indicated what
devices are present, _not_ what drivers have been configured.
