[PATCH 2/5] OMAPFB: simplify locking

2012-12-07 Thread Tomi Valkeinen
Kernel lock verification code has lately detected possible circular locking in omapfb. The exact problem is unclear, but omapfb's current locking seems to be overly complex. This patch simplifies the locking in the following ways: - Remove explicit omapfb mem region locking. I couldn't figure out
