Subject: [PATCH 3.12 31/56] hwmon: (amc6821) Fix possible race condition bug

From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@...ics.com>

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

===============

commit cf44819c98db11163f58f08b822d626c7a8f5188 upstream.

Ensure mutex lock protects the read-modify-write period to prevent possible
race condition bug.
In additional, update data->valid should also be protected by the mutex lock.
