Subject: [PATCH v2] mfd: mc13xxx-core: Initialize the lock prior to using it
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:56:14 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397602574-28025-1-git-send-email-festevam@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>

After request_threaded_irq() is called there is a chance that an interrupt
may occur before the 'mc13xxx->lock' is initialized, which will trigger a kernel
oops.

In order to prevent that, move the initialization of 'mc13xxx->lock' prior to
requesting the interrupts.

Suggested-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>

Changes since v1:
- Changed kernel warning --> kernel oops to better describe the problem
- Added Russell's Ack
