[PATCH] HID: i2c-hid: add mutex protecting open/close race

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Wed Dec 12 2012 - 11:12:29 EST


We should not enter close function while someone else is in open.
This mutex prevents this race.

There is also no need to override the ret value with -EIO in case of
a failure of i2c_hid_set_power.

Hi Jiri, hi Jean,

this is the last patch that came from the last review. Sorry I took so long to
do it, but I thought it would have raised other problems. In the end, the
changes are pretty straightforward, and it would be great to have this one
in 3.8-rc0 too.
Anyway, Jiri, the choice is yours.

Cheers,
Benjamin
