[patch 1/2] hdaps: fix locking

From: Nick Piggin
Date: Sun Oct 14 2007 - 03:25:40 EST


Here are a couple of fixes for the hdaps driver. I have kind of been
blocking out the bug traces caused by these (the 2nd patch, actually)
thinking that it's one of those transient / churn things... but it's
getting annoying now because I think it turns off lockdep. After this
patch it no longer produces warnings, but I don't actually know if it
does the right thing (because I don't really know what the driver
does or how to test it anyway!).

hdaps was using incorrect mutex_trylock return code.
