power_supply: Use wrappers to avoid races when registering power supply
Use wrappers over get_property() and set_property() internally in power supply and for sysfs interface. The wrappers provide safe access if power supply is not yet registered or t is being destroyed. In case of syfs the theoretical race could happen between ending of driver's probe and parallel sysfs access: some_driver_probe() userspace ==================================== =========================== drv->psy = power_supply_register() device_add() sysfs entries are created atomic_inc(&psy->use_cnt); store on sysfs attributes drv->set_property() dereference of drv->psy drv->psy = returned psy; For leds the race could happen between power supply being destroyed and ongoing power_supply_changed_work().
