From bc04d76d6942068f75c10790072280b847ec6f1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans-Frieder Vogt Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 21:13:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] w1 - call request_module with w1 master mutex unlocked request_module for w1 slave modules needs to be called with the w1 master mutex unlocked. Because w1_attach_slave_device gets always(?) called with mutex locked, we need to temporarily unlock the w1 master mutex for the loading of the w1 slave module.
