[PATCH] mfd: core: Add locking around `mfd_of_node_list`
Posted by Douglas Anderson 5 days, 13 hours ago
Manipulating a list in the kernel isn't safe without some sort of
mutual exclusion. Add a mutex any time we access / modify
`mfd_of_node_list` to prevent possible crashes.

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>
Fixes: 466a62d7642f ("mfd: core: Make a best effort attempt to match devices with the correct of_nodes")
Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>

While I have no definitive way to reproduce the crash we've been
seeing, it's clear that the `mfd_of_node_list` isn't right at the time
of the crash. Code inspection shows the lack of locking.
