[PATCH] cris: fix locking in pcf8563.c
From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Mar 09 2011 - 06:55:41 EST
The ioctl function was incorrectly converted to unlocked_ioctl,
this fixes the locking.

You are right. This problem exists in both arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/pcf8563.c
and arch/cris/arch-v32/drivers/pcf8563.c, and apparently both are my fault.
