This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio:st_sensors: Fix oops when probing SPI devices to the 4.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iio-st_sensors-fix-oops-when-probing-spi-devices.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 8e71c04f863a1754f21b27fb8ecb773d680a0a80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alban Bedel <alban.bedel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 13:57:18 +0200 Subject: iio:st_sensors: Fix oops when probing SPI devices From: Alban Bedel <alban.bedel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8e71c04f863a1754f21b27fb8ecb773d680a0a80 upstream. In SPI mode the transfer buffer is locked with a mutex. However this mutex is only initilized after the probe, but some transfer needs to be done in the probe. To fix this bug we move the mutex initialization at the beginning of the device probe.
