Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [media] cx88: use a mutex to protect cx8802_devlist

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 03:25:15 +0100

Add and use a mutex to protect the cx88-mpeg device list.  Previously
the BKL prevented races.

[jn: split from a larger patch, with new commit message; also protect
 use in cx8802_probe]

That's the end of the series.  Hopefully I haven't mangled the patches
too much --- if we're lucky they might even still work, though I
wouldn't bet on it.  Bug reports and improvements welcome.

Good night,
Jonathan
