One possible solution would be to have a single function to set both
t_cold and t_hot, and call it from both initialization code and from the
set functions. That would unify all the register setting and interrupt
enable code.

Regarding the actual values to set, you can (as an example) use the
following approach:

- If max is set, and t_hot < t_cold, adjust t_cold to the new value of
t_hot.

- if max_hyst is set, and t_cold > t_hot, set t_cold to the new value of
t_hot.

So, in other words, your new unified function would only need the
following simple validation:

	if (t_cold > t_hot)
		t_cold = t_hot;

Concerns:

- create sysfs entries first, then register with hwmon.
hwmon_device_register is usually the last call, made only after
everything is known to work.
- You can definitely request the interrupt before registering sysfs
entries
- temp_sensor->hwmon_dev is initially set to 
	temp_sensor->hwmon_dev = &pdev->dev;
  then overwritten with
	temp_sensor->hwmon_dev = hwmon_device_register(&pdev->dev);
  This is, at the very least, odd and doesn't seem to make sense.
- Interrupt enable code (setting bgap_mask_ctrl) in probe function
occurs after sysfs files have been enabled, and the access is not mutex
protected. Thus, sysfs access can already happen, causing the main race
I was concerned about.

My suggestion is 
- request interrupt prior to sysfs creation and hwmon registration.
- swap sysfs file creation and hwmon registration.
- Use the unified function I suggested above to set t_cold, t_hot, and
to enable interrupts as needed. Since that function will be mutex
protected, you can call it after hwmon registration, and avoid the race.

Also look into use of temp_sensor->hwmon_dev vs. &pdev->dev. That code
just doesn't look right.

Guenter
