Subject: [PATCH] vt: Decrement ref count of the VT backend on deallocation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d459ec0baa5d22e111dfb139c46d6d788a9eac20;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] vt: Decrement ref count of the VT backend on deallocation

When a VT is newly allocated, the module reference count of the backend
will be incremented.  This should be balanced by a module_put() when this
VT is deallocated.
