Subject: [PATCH 4.5 040/238] ncr5380: Dont re-enter NCR5380_select()

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

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

From: Finn Thain <fthain@...egraphics.com.au>

commit 71a00593ec0c2e2c1720e4041cf2926ff1d07826 upstream.

Calling NCR5380_select() from the abort handler causes various problems.
Firstly, it means potentially re-entering NCR5380_select(). Secondly, it
means that the lock is released, which permits the EH handlers to be
re-entered. The combination results in crashes. Don't do it.

Fixes: 8b00c3d5d40d ("ncr5380: Implement new eh_abort_handler")
