[PATCH V2] thermal: Fix locking in cooling device sysfs update cur_state

From: Thara Gopinath
Date: Tue Nov 27 2018 - 17:43:17 EST


Sysfs interface to update cooling device cur_state does not
currently holding cooling device lock sometimes leading to
stale values in cur_state if getting updated simultanelously
from user space and thermal framework. Adding the proper locking
code fixes this issue.
