commit a749d13a upstream. In the atmel driver probe function, the code shows like following: atmel_nand_probe(...) { ... err_nand_ioremap: platform_driver_unregister(&atmel_nand_nfc_driver); return res; } If no nand flash detected, the driver probe function will goto err_nand_ioremap label. Then platform_driver_unregister() will be called. It will get the lock of atmel_nand device since it is parent of nfc_device. The problem is the lock is already hold by atmel_nand_probe itself. So system will be in a dead lock. This patch just simply removed to platform_driver_unregister() call. When atmel_nand driver is quit the platform_driver_unregister() will be called in atmel_nand_remove(). [Brian: the NAND platform probe really has no business registering/unregistering another driver; this fixes the deadlock, but we should follow up the likely racy behavior here with a better architecture] Signed-off-by: Josh Wu <josh.wu@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
