Subject: hwmon: (max1111) Fix race condition causing NULL pointer exception
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d3f684f2820a7f42acef68bea6622d9032127fb2;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

hwmon: (max1111) Fix race condition causing NULL pointer exception

spi_sync call uses its spi_message parameter to keep completion information,
using a drvdata structure is not thread-safe. Use a mutex to prevent
multiple access to shared driver data.
