Could you build the kernel with lockdep kconfig and see whether it reports errors? Reverting the commit doesn't work cleanly. Instead, you can try to simply comment out all mutex_lock(&per_pin->lock) and mutex_unlock(&per_pin->lock) calls in patch_hdmi.c to see whether it's a mutex deadlock. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
