[PATCH 4/5] V4L/DVB (4849): Add missing spin_unlock to saa6588decoder driver

From: mchehab
Date: Tue Nov 21 2006 - 08:00:59 EST



From: Ira Snyder <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Sparse noticed a lock imbalance in read_from_buf(). Further inspection shows
that the lock should not be held when the function exits.
This adds a spin_unlock_irqrestore(), so that every exit path of the
read_from_buf() function is consistent. The unlock was missing on an error
path.
