Thomas Zimmermann abf7b30d7f drm/cirrus: Use drm_framebuffer_put to avoid kernel oops in clean-up
In the Cirrus driver, the regular clean-up code also performs the clean-up
of a failed initialization. If the fbdev's framebuffer was not initialized,
the clean-up will fail within drm_framebuffer_unregister_private. Booting
with cirrus.bpp=16 triggers this bug.

The framebuffer is currently stored directly within struct cirrus_fbdev. To
fix the bug, we turn it into a pointer that is only set for initialized
framebuffers. The fbdev's clean-up code skips uninitialized framebuffers.

The memory for struct drm_framebuffer is allocated dynamically. This requires
additional error handling within cirrusfb_create. The framebuffer clean-up is
now performed by drm_framebuffer_put, which also frees the data strcuture's
memory.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
