plip: fix parport_register_device name parameter
Plip passes a string "name" that is allocated on stack to parport_register_device. parport_register_device holds the pointer to "name" and when the registering function exits, it points nowhere. On some machine, this bug causes bad names to appear in /proc, such as /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices/T^/�X^/�, on others, the plip proc node is completely missing. The patch also fixes documentation to note this requirement. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
