[Patch v3 1/1] media: am437x-vpfe: Fix a race condition during release

From: Benoit Parrot
Date: Mon Jun 29 2015 - 17:18:59 EST


There was a race condition where during cleanup/release operation
on-going streaming would cause a kernel panic because the hardware
module was disabled prematurely with IRQ still pending.

Fixes: 417d2e507edc ("[media] media: platform: add VPFE capture driver support for AM437X")
Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v4.0+
Signed-off-by: Benoit Parrot <bparrot@xxxxxx>
