Subject: [PATCH 1/4] drivers edac fix reset edac_mc pollmsec
From: Doug Thompson <dougthompson@...ssion.com>
This fixes a deadlock that could occur on a 'setup' and 'teardown'
sequence of the workq for a edac_mc control structure instance. A similiar
fix was previously implemented for the edac_device code.
In addition, the edac_mc device code there was missing code to
allow the workq period valu to be altered via sysfs control.
This patch adds that fix on the code, and allows for the changing
of the period value as well.
