[PATCH] remoteproc: sysfs: fix race while updating recovery flag

From: Satya Durga Srinivasu Prabhala
Date: Sun Jan 29 2023 - 17:51:51 EST


When multiple clients try to update the recovery flag, it is
possible that, race condition would lead to undesired results
as updates to recovery flag isn't protected by any mechanism
today. To avoid such issues, take remoteproc mutex lock before
updating recovery flag and release the lock once done.
