Subject: [PATCH 3/3] nfc: trf7970a: Prevent repeated polling from crashing the kernel
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2016 17:30:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481841044-4314-3-git-send-email-glansberry@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1481841044-4314-1-git-send-email-glansberry@gmail.com>
From: Jaret Cantu <jaret.cantu@timesys.com>
Repeated polling attempts cause a NULL dereference error to occur.
This is because the curent state of the trf7970a is reading but
a request has been made to send a command.
The solution is to properly kill the waiting reading (workqueue)
before failing on the send.
