Subject: [PATCH] mtd: atmel_nand: fix bug driver will in a dead lock if no nand detected
Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 17:59:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383645547-21813-1-git-send-email-josh.wu@atmel.com> (raw)
In the atmel driver probe function, the code shows like following:
atmel_nand_probe(...) {
...
err_nand_ioremap:
platform_driver_unregister(&atmel_nand_nfc_driver);
return res;
}
If no nand flash detected, the driver probe function will goto
err_nand_ioremap label.
Then platform_driver_unregister() will be called. It will get the
lock of atmel_nand device since it is parent of nfc_device. The
problem is the lock is already hold by atmel_nand_probe itself.
So system will be in a dead lock.
This patch just simply removed to platform_driver_unregister() call.
When atmel_nand driver is quit the platform_driver_unregister() will
be called in atmel_nand_remove().
