[PATCH v7 1/4] driver core: don't always lock parent in shutdown
Posted by Stuart Hayes 1 year, 5 months ago
Don't lock a parent device unless it is needed in device_shutdown. This
is in preparation for making device shutdown asynchronous, when it will
be needed to allow children of a common parent to shut down
simultaneously.

Looks good:

.. but I guess this means async shutdown won't work well for busses
that set this flag (just usb currently)?

USB can't do async shutdown due to the tree topology requirements here
so hopefully this should be ok.
