Re: FAILED: patch "[PATCH] auxdisplay: charlcd: properly restore atomic counter on error" failed to apply to 4.9-stable tree

Hi Greg,

as promised a month ago, here finally come the tested backports of this
fix for 4.9 and 4.4 respectively. This backport is not needed for 3.18
as the regression was introduced in 3.19-rc1.

Cheers,
Willy

Subject: misc: panel: properly restore atomic counter on error path

Commit f4757af ("staging: panel: Fix single-open policy race condition")
introduced in 3.19-rc1 attempted to fix a race condition on the open, but
failed to properly do it and used to exit without restoring the semaphore.

This results in -EBUSY being returned after the first open error until
the module is reloaded or the system restarted (ie: consecutive to a
dual open resulting in -EBUSY or to a permission error).
