Subject[PATCH] watchdog: mena21_wdt: Fix a possible data race in a21_wdt_set_timeout
Date
The write operation to "wdt->timeout" is protected by
the lock on line 118, but the read operation to
this data on line 105 is not protected by the lock.
Thus, there may exist a data race for "wdt->timeout".

To fix this data race, the read operation to "wdt->timeout"
should be also protected by the lock.
