There is an identical patch here (scroll down):
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1284081/
I'm not sure what happened to it.

OK. Here it is again, with CC: stable, Reported-by Ben, and Herton's
Acked-by.

Subject: [PATCH] Unlock the rc_dev lock when the raw device is missing
As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, after commit 720bb6436, the lock was
being taken and not released when an rc_dev has a NULL
ignores the issue of how
this state of affairs came about in the first place.
Version 2 incorporates changes recommended by Mauro Carvalho Chehab
(-ENODEV instead of -EINVAL, and a signed-off-by).

hi,
I probably should have sent that in reply to
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/49740
which is the problem it fixes.
Some things which might be of interest:
1. I innocently followed the instructions on
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Maintaining
For some reason, when the lirc daemon learns that a usb remote control
has been unplugged, it wants to read the sysfs attributes of the
disappearing device. This is useful for uncovering transient
inconsistencies, but less so for keeping the system running when such
inconsistencies exist.
Under so

Jun 20 12:41:52 kip kernel: [56969.966260] IR LIRC bridge handler initialized
I reported this to Ubuntu at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1015836 which
includes more (probably irrelevant) information about my system.
What can I do to help?
regards,
Douglas Bagnall
