Subject: [PATCH] rfkill: Use mutex_lock() at register and add sanity check
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 15:16:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200710281516.51356.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)

Replace mutex_lock_interruptible() by mutex_lock() in rfkill_register(),
as interruptible doesn't make sense there.

Add a sanity check for rfkill->type, as that's used for an unchecked dereference
in an array and might cause hard to debug crashes if the driver sets this
to an invalid value.
