PATCH 1/1 ARM:common: setting saved_state to NULL after kfree

need set NULL before return, just like function sa1111_remove has done. and better to use sa1111_remove directly, instead of current implementation.

NAK.

1. __sa1111_remove() will kfree sachip, so the value of sachip->saved_state at this point is meaningless.
2. I don't think you tried to build with your patch in place.

yes, just like what you said. it is not a bug
(it seems not necessary to set saved_state to NULL in sa1111_remove, either).

I think, this patch can make the source code simpler and clearer. so I still suggest to apply it (although it seems a minor patch).

it is my fault, just like what you said, I did not try to build. and I should try now.

thanks.

PATCH 1/1 ARM:common: setting saved_state to NULL after kfree

it is my fault, building failed for not declare sa1111_remove before using. I should notice next time (at least, need building).

if sending patch v2 is welcome, I will do.
if need additional test, I should try (I try under qemu virtual machine).

:-)
