The patch below does not apply to the 4.9-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit

Subject: [PATCH] auxdisplay: charlcd: properly restore atomic counter on error
 path

Commit f4757af ("staging: panel: Fix single-open policy race condition")
introduced in 3.19-rc1 attempted to fix a race condition on the open, but
failed to properly do it and used to exit without restoring the semaphore.

This results in -EBUSY being returned after the first open error until
the module is reloaded or the system restarted (ie: consecutive to a
dual open resulting in -EBUSY or to a permission error).

[ Note for stable maintainers: the code moved from drivers/misc/panel.c
  to drivers/auxdisplay/{charlcd,panel}.c during 4.12. The patch easily
  applies there (modulo the renamed atomic counter) but I can provide a
  tested backport if desired. ]

I'll provide you with the backports for 4.9 and 4.4 probably next week
(3.18 not needed).

Cheers,
Willy

Hi Greg,

as promised a month ago, here finally come the tested backports of this
fix for 4.9 and 4.4 respectively. This backport is not needed for 3.18
as the regression was introduced in 3.19-rc1.

Cheers,
Willy

Thanks for the patch, sorry for the delay in getting to it, now queued
