    Subject[PATCH] [18/50] hwmon: (max1111) Fix race condition causing NULL pointer
    Date
    2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------
    From: Pavel Herrmann <morpheus.ibis@gmail.com>

    [ upstream commit d3f684f2820a7f42acef68bea6622d9032127fb2 ]
    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.
