Re: [PATCH] ACPI / video: driver must be registered before checking for keypresses

Hi,

acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() may use an uninitialized mutex.
The error has been reported by lockdep: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l).
The function assumes that the video driver has been registered before being
called. As explained in the comment of acpi_video_init(), the registration
of the video class may be defered and thus may not take place in the init
function of the module.

Use completion mechanisms to make sure that
acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() wait for the completion of
acpi_video_register() before using the mutex.
Also get rid of register_count since task completion can replace it.

Thanks for the fix, my first instinct was that there should be an easier
fix, but thinking more about it this and how this function is used
in thinkpad_acpi. this is indeed the correct way to fix this:

Rafael, can you please add this fix to acpi-next ?

Regards,

Hans
