Subject: [109/200] ARM: 6146/1: sa1111: Prevent deadlock in resume path

2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Marek=20Va=C5=A1ut?= <marek.vasut@...il.com>

commit 3defb2476166445982a90c12d33f8947e75476c4 upstream.

This patch reorganises the sa1111_resume() function in a manner the spinlock
happens after calling the sa1111_wake(). This fixes two bugs:

1) This function called sa1111_wake() which tried to claim the same spinlock
   the sa1111_resume() already claimed. This would result in certain deadlock.

   Original idea for this part: Russell King <rmk+kernel@....linux.org.uk>

2) The function didn't unlock the spinlock in case the chip didn't report
   correct ID.

   Original idea for this part: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>
