[PATCH 1/1] MTD: cfi chip, fix lock imbalance

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Thu Dec 10 2009 - 08:24:13 EST


Stanse found a double unlock in get_chip. get_chip is called with
chip->mutex held and caller is responsible for unlocking it too.

Do not unlock the lock in get_chip on a fail path. This would mean
a double unlock.
