I don't have the device yet, so I won't be able to test. I have opted for the
mutex instead.
I have just sent an updated version fixing another issue in my code: The
mutex can't be included in pi433_instance because we have to lock it
before dereferencing our pi433_instance pointer. The best solution I
could think of was to create a wrapper struct pi433_data which would contain
pointers to the pi433_instance and its mutex. I couldn't find any
similar situation in the kernel, so I'm not sure it's the right way to
go though.
Thanks !
Regards,
Hugo
