Hmm, for some reason I thought it needs to be synchronized with the sync state callback being called already. But I just noticed that call to the sync state callback is independently locked after state_synced is set. So I guess the lock can go away here. > > Because it can change, how will this function actually show anything > relevant? The only usecase I can think of for this new API is for some driver to delay an action until ultimately the driver for a specific device gets state synced. So even if the value can change after it has been checked, such consumer driver will most likely retry later on. Hope that makes sense. > > thanks, > > greg k-h
