Subject: [char-misc 4.2] mei: nfc: fix deadlock on shutdown/suspend path
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 00:22:03 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436304123-7501-1-git-send-email-tomas.winkler@intel.com> (raw)
In function mei_nfc_host_exit mei_cl_remove_device cannot be called
under the device mutex as device removing flow invokes the device driver
remove handler that calls in turn to mei_cl_disable_device which
naturally acquires the device mutex.
Also remove mei_cl_bus_remove_devices which has the same issue, but is
never executed as currently the only device on the mei client bus is
NFC and a new device cannot be easily added till
the bus revamp is completed.
This fixes regression caused by commit

NFC: mei_phy: move all nfc logic from mei driver to nfc
Prior to this change the nfc driver remove handler
called to no-op disable function while actual nfc
device was disabled directly from the mei driver.
