[PATCH 04/13] ide: fix race in device_create
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue May 20 2008 - 18:37:36 EST
There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata().
