Subject: [PATCH 1/2] of: fix race when matching drivers
Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 13:21:00 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110518192100.28986.94335.stgit@ponder> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110518185751.28986.69446.stgit@ponder>
From: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com>
If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write
their match table result to the dev->of_match cache at the same time.
Only write the result if the device matches.
In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not",
Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time.
>From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched
some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery
failling.

[grant.likely: modified to only call of_match_device() once]
