4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 68000a0d983f539c95ebe5dccd4f29535c7ac0af ] Sysfs interface to update cooling device cur_state does not currently holding cooling device lock sometimes leading to stale values in cur_state if getting updated simultanelously from user space and thermal framework. Adding the proper locking code fixes this issue.
