We should not enter close function while someone else is in open. This mutex prevents this race. There is also no need to override the ret value with -EIO in case of a failure of i2c_hid_set_power. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@xxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Jiri, hi Jean, this is the last patch that came from the last review. Sorry I took so long to do it, but I thought it would have raised other problems. In the end, the changes are pretty straightforward, and it would be great to have this one in 3.8-rc0 too. Anyway, Jiri, the choice is yours.
