Then platform_driver_unregister() will be called. It will get the lock of atmel_nand device since it is parent of nfc_device. The problem is the lock is already hold by atmel_nand_probe itself. So system will be in a dead lock. This patch just simply removed to platform_driver_unregister() call. When atmel_nand driver is quit the platform_driver_unregister() will be called in atmel_nand_remove(). [Brian: the NAND platform probe really has no business registering/unregistering another driver; this fixes the deadlock, but we should follow up the likely racy behavior here with a better architecture] Signed-off-by: Josh Wu Cc: # 3.12 Signed-off-by: Brian Norris --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
