Subject: [PATCH] video: fbdev: w100fb: Fix a potential double free.

Some memory is vmalloc'ed in the 'suspend' function and freed in the
'resume' function.
However, it is also freed in the remove function.

In order to avoid a potential double free, set the corresponding pointer
to NULL once freed in the 'resume' function.

Fixes: aac51f09d96a ("[PATCH] w100fb: Rewrite for platform independence")

The changelog talks about a suspend and a resume function.
But the code has a w100fb_save_vidmem() and a w100fb_restore_vidmem()
functions.

This "Fixes" should be followed by:
Cc: Richard Purdie <[email protected]>
Cc: Antonino Daplas <[email protected]>
Cc: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <[email protected]>
Cc: <[email protected]> # v2.6.14+

This is the output of "dim fixes" - that does some magic to provide
the above list.
I filtered a few candidates out that should not be there.

Please fix both issues and resend.

Thanks,

Sam
