Subject: TTY: pdc_cons, fix open vs pdc_console_tty_driver race
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b479d54ae7b79f62f09ef977c2228e579924d38;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

TTY: pdc_cons, fix open vs pdc_console_tty_driver race

Assign the pointer to pdc_console_tty_driver (a tty_driver) earlier.
Otherwise the timer may dereference NULL.
