[PATCH] HID: i2c-hid: add mutex protecting open/close race

[PATCH] HID: i2c-hid: add mutex protecting open/close race

[Benjamin Tissoires]

We should not enter close function while someone else is in open.
This mutex prevents this race.

There is also no need to override the ret value with -EIO in case of
a failure of i2c_hid_set_power.

Hi Jiri, hi Jean,

this is the last patch that came from the last review. Sorry I took so long to
do it, but I thought it would have raised other problems. In the end, the
changes are pretty straightforward, and it would be great to have this one
in 3.8-rc0 too.
Anyway, Jiri, the choice is yours.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Looks good to me except that you forgot to include <linux/mutex.h> and
this could cause build failures on some architectures/configs.

Once this is fixed, you can add:
