From 77eebe82eb114605c0ade45f1b4587c530660f4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Binoy Jayan Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:00:38 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] staging: wilc1000: Remove semaphore close_exit_sync The semaphore 'close_exit_sync' does not serve any purpose other than delaying the deregistration of the device which it is trying to protect from shared access. 'up' is called only when a subdevice is closed and not when it is opened. So, the semaphore count only goes up when the device is used.
