The global variable dgnc_poll_tick is read in the function dgnc_poll_handler and modified in dgnc_driver_pollrate_store. The read access is protected by spin_lock_irqsave whereas the write is not. The protection of write access is needed, since it is possible to have multiple programs that try to modify, simultaneously, dngc_poll_tick. The following patch corrects this bug.
