X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e0426e6a09954d205da2d674a3d368d2715e3afd;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

Hold console sem while creating/destroying sysfs files.  Serialisation is
so far done by BKL held in tty release_dev and chrdev_open, but no other
locks are held in open path.
