This is practically unintelligible as a changelog. These logs get used by distibutions and other people trying to determine if they need the patch based on bug reports they're seeing
>From the patch I think what you've done is:
1. Added a lock to the skinny firmware initialisation sequence to prevent the two stage write being non atomic if multiple instances use it. 2. Added a flag to the driver shutdown sequence to prevent aen ioctls being called after shutdown begins.
For the future, could we also have separate bug fixes in separate patches, please.
Also, does this need to go to stable?
Thanks,
James
