• 8b485877e   fbdev: fix race in device_create ... Browse Code »

  There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
  then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
  sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
  sorts of bad things to happen.

  This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
  device_create_drvdata().

  Add the new display class. This is meant to unite the various solutions to
  display units ie acpi output device, auxdisplay and the defunct lcd class
  in the backlight directory.
