From 03e361b25ee8dfb1fd9b890072c23c4aae01c6c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:03:04 +0100 Subject: mfd: Stop setting refcounting pointers in original mfd_cell arrays Commit 1e29af62f2b285bd18685da93c3ce8c33ca2d1db ("mfd: Add refcounting support to mfd_cells") had to drop the "const" keyword on the "cell" parameter of mfd_add_devices(), as it added the refcounting pointers to the objects of the passed mfd_cell array itself. However, the mfd core code operates on copies of the mfd_cell objects, so there's no need to modify the originally passed objects. Hence, move the setting of the refcounting pointers from mfd_add_devices() to mfd_platform_add_cell(), where the copy of the mfd_cell objects is made. mfd_clone_cell() can just pass (a copy of) the original usage_count pointer. This allows to make the "cell" parameter of mfd_add_devices() "const" again, and avoids future race conditions when registering multiple instances of the same device in parallel.
