Subject: [PATCH] input: psmouse: fix input_dev leak in lifebook driver


The lifebook driver may register a second input device, but it never
unregisters it. This fixes that.

Hi Dmitry,

There's one additional patch, I don't know if you saw it; the subject
was "check return value of input_register_device() in hil_ptr.c's init".


Also, I've found myself needing to provide my own device_attribute for
the OLPC psmouse driver; I couldn't use PSMOUSE_DEFINE_ATTR(), as its
set_helper callback calls psmouse_disable.

static DEVICE_ATTR(powered, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, hgpk_show_powered,
hgpk_set_powered);

Unfortunately, in order to not be racy, hgpk_set_powered needs to
deal with psmouse_mutex. Which method of dealing with this would
you prefer? I could either make psmouse_mutex no longer static,
provide psmouse_mutex locking functions (declared in psmouse.h), or
put psmouse_mutex into 'struct psmouse'. Or, if you have any other
ideas..

I have seen it but postponed for later. Right now I am trying to get though
2.6.24 material.

Could you just send me the code? I tend to think better when I see it...

Thanks!
