Hi Kalle
Thanks for your reply.
I am currently working on a static analyser to detect missing locks.
This was a reported case. I manually verified the report by looking
at the code, so that I do not send wrong information or patches.
After concluding that this seems to be a true positive, I created this patch.
However, as I do not in fact have this particular hardware, I was unable to test it.
Thanks
