Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drivers: staging: wilc1000: Move spin lock to the start of critical section
Date: Sat,  3 Oct 2015 14:57:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443864450-18167-1-git-send-email-csgorentla@gmail.com> (raw)

The spin_lock_irqsave is moved to just beginning of critical section.
This change moves a couple of return statements out of the lock.
