From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 00:55:12 +0000 (-0700) Subject: LEDS: fix race in device_create X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b00fc5851551781e8a30153af2c94cee9fa84af;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git LEDS: fix race in device_create There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all sorts of bad things to happen. This patch fixes the problem by using the new function, device_create_drvdata().
