[PATCH v2 2/2] Input: i8042 - Lock i8042_mutex before flushing

From: Raul E Rangel
Date: Thu Aug 27 2020 - 16:42:07 EST


Make i8042_flush lock the i8042_mutex before flushing the buffer. This
will prevent i8042_flush from clearing the buffer while a PS/2 command is
in progress. I'm not sure if this is really possible. We already
hold the lock when calling i8042_command, so this makes i8042_flush have
the same behavior.
