[PATCH] cfag12864b: fix crash when built-in and no parport present
The problem comes when ks0108/cfag12864b are built-in and no parallel port is
present. ks0108_init() is called first, as it should be, but fails to load
(as there is no parallel port to use).
After that, cfag12864b_init() gets called, without knowing anything about
ks0108 failed, and calls ks0108_writecontrol(), which dereferences an
uninitialized pointer.
Init order is OK, I think. The problem is how to stop cfag12864b_init() being
called if ks0108 failed to load. modprobe does it for us, but, how when
built-in?
