From: Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit afc023da53e46b88552822f2fe035c7129c505a2 ] For some reason lost in history function vchiq_mmal_init used a static variable for storing the vchiq_instance. This value is retrieved from vchiq per instance, so worked fine until you try to call vchiq_mmal_init multiple times concurrently when things then go wrong. This seemed to happen quite frequently if using the cutdown firmware (no MMAL or VCSM services running) as the vchiq_connect then failed, and one or other vchiq_shutdown was working on an invalid handle. Remove the static so that each caller gets a unique vchiq_instance. Fixes: 7b3ad5abf027 ("staging: Import the BCM2835 MMAL-based V4L2 camera driver.")
