[PATCH] ti-st: use worker instead of calling st_int_write in wake up

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Muhammad Hamza Farooq <mfarooq@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The wake up method is called with the port lock held. The st_int_write
method calls port->ops->write with tries to acquire the lock again,
causing CPU to wait infinitely. Right way to do is to write data to port
in worker thread.
