Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] staging: wilc1000: Remove semaphore close_exit_sync
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:00:38 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465968638-22129-6-git-send-email-binoy.jayan@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1465968638-22129-1-git-send-email-binoy.jayan@linaro.org>

The semaphore 'close_exit_sync' does not serve any purpose other
than delaying the deregistration of the device which it is trying
to protect from shared access. 'up' is called only when a subdevice
is closed and not when it is opened. So, the semaphore count only
goes up when the device is used.
