Hi,
Changes since v1: ================= 1. Remove checks for non-NULL in added functions (suggested by Pavel Machek). 2. Fix typos in commit messages. 3. Add acks: Pavel Machek, Jonghwa Lee, Lee Jones (only 5/8).
Description: ============ After fixing issue with referencing old power supply after driver unbind in charger manager [1] I noticed that the race condition in such case may still exist. It would be harder to trigger but still possible.
The race is between using a reference to power supply (obtained with power_supply_get_by_name()) and removing the driver.
This patchset aims to fix the race by introducing wrappers for accessing the power supply function attributes.
Patch 1 introduces new API. Other patches replace direct calls in drivers.
Rebased on next-20141007. Tested on Trats2 board (max77693 + charger manager).
Kindly asking for reviewing/testing the drivers, although the changes are straightforward.
Best regards, Krzysztof
