Subject: [PATCH] iio:accel:kxsd9 fix missing mutex unlock
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:27:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384374470-3188-1-git-send-email-jic23@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Frank Zago <frank@zago.net>
This will leave a lock held after reading from the device, preventing
any further reads.

I have reworked this from a patch sent to me by Frank and put it
into the correct format.
Frank, do you mind me adding your sign off on this. It's shorter
than your patch, but the effect is the same. This approach of unlocking
before checking a return value is a common kernel idiom.
