[PATCH v3 3/3] counter: 104-quad-8: Add lock guards for filter clock prescaler

From: Syed Nayyar Waris
Date: Thu Mar 12 2020 - 07:26:06 EST


Add lock protection from race conditions in the 104-quad-8 counter
driver for filter clock prescaler related changes. There is no IRQ
handling so used spin_lock calls for protection.

Fixes: 9b74dddf79be ("counter: 104-quad-8: Support Filter Clock
Prescaler")

Signed-off-by: Syed Nayyar Waris <syednwaris@xxxxxxxxx>

Split the patch from generic interface and differential encoder cable
status changes. Also, include more code statements for protection using
spin_lock calls and remove protection from few code statements which are
unnecessary.
