Subject: b43: fix debugfs crash
From: Christian Lamparter <[email protected]>
commit 51b275a6fe5601834b717351d6cbdb89bd1f308b upstream.
This patch fixes a crash that happens because b43's
debugfs code expects file->f_op to be a pointer to
its own b43_debugfs_fops struct. This is no longer
the case since commit 9fd4dcece43a
("debugfs: prevent access to possibly dead file_operations at file open")
