Subject: [PATCH] Fix timer race
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cfadbd298e8b3e7f2e324696b653bb74094590db;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] Fix timer race

When closing the driver or reinitializing the hardware there is the
usual del_timer() race condition that exists when timers re-add
themselves.  Fix by conversion to del_timer_sync().
