From 077c28f8c2f6d375bb7927c1f909df810776647b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Hounschell Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 10:33:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: dgap: Fix how we insure config data is a string This patch changes the way we insure the config data is a string. Clearly this was just wrong. After a certain number of loads/unloads various OOPs were generated indicating something other than this driver had a problem. It was this driver.
