Subject[PATCH 2.6] 1/3 Serio: claim serio early
Date
Hi, 

I think that serio_dev in serio_open should claim serio before calling
"open" function as it has already been decided that (in case of success)
this serio belongs to that serio_dev. Otherwise it might try to find an
owner on its own, like i8042 module that calls serio_interrupt which in
turn will do serio_rescan. From that point on 2 instances may start
fighting over the same serio.

What you think about the patch below?
