ChangeSet 1.2339, 2005/04/01 11:48:28-08:00, khali at linux-fr.org [PATCH] I2C: pcf8574 doesn't need a lock While investigating the i2c chips drivers that were not properly locking, we found that the pcf8574 driver does the exact contrary. It uses a lock where it's not needed. While we were there, we did some additional cleanups to the driver: 1* Merge pcf8574_update_client() in show_read(), as it was the only user and the function became trivial once the locking was removed. 2* Add a validity check on values provided by user-space. Aurelien Jarno tested the modified code for confirmation and it worked just fine.
