Subject: [PATCH 0/2] uio: some fixes

Using uio_pdrv_genirq can cause a system hangup due to accessing mmaped memory,
since the pm_runtime_put_sync() call in uio_release can disable clocks.
Also unloading a module wich creates/removes UIO devices can cause a system
crash. Track mappings and get a module reference to avoid this.

Benedikt Spranger (2):
  uio: be aware of open(), mmap(), close()
  uio: avoid module unloding of in module created UIO devices
