From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 14:48:14 +0000 (+0200) Subject: stm class: Fix stm device initialization order X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=389b6699a2aa0b457aa69986e9ddf39f3b4030fd;p=linux-beck.git stm class: Fix stm device initialization order Currently, stm_register_device() makes the device visible and then proceeds to initializing spinlocks and other properties, which leaves a window when the device can already be opened but is not yet fully operational. Fix this by reversing the initialization order.
