From 4f5b7994f0610fefff0782227ab71469ece54a5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Axel Lin Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 08:41:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix fan_ctrl_init error path In current implementation, the sysfs entries is not removed before return -ENODEV. Creating the sysfs attribute should be the last thing done by the function, after all the rest has been successful. Otherwise there is a small window during which user-space can access the attribute but the driver isn't ready to deal with the requests. Fix it by moving sysfs_create_group to be the last thing done by the function.
