Hi Jonathan,

I am looking at this patch of yours:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3db633ee352bfe20d4a2b0c3c8a46ce31a6c7149

I believe that no locking is needed in i2cdev_open(). Do you have any
reason to think it does? If not, can I simply revert this patch?

Thanks,
--
