This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

iio: accel: bmc150: Don't make the remove function of the second

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Hans de Goede hdegoede@redhat.com Date: Sun, 23 May 2021 19:00:56 +0200 Subject: iio: accel: bmc150: Don't make the remove function of the second accelerometer unregister itself

On machines with dual accelerometers described in a single ACPI fwnode, the bmc150_accel_probe() instantiates a second i2c-client for the second accelerometer.

A pointer to this manually instantiated second i2c-client is stored inside the iio_dev's private-data through bmc150_set_second_device(), so that the i2c-client can be unregistered from bmc150_accel_remove().

Before this commit bmc150_set_second_device() took only 1 argument so it would store the pointer in private-data of the iio_dev belonging to the manually instantiated i2c-client, leading to the bmc150_accel_remove() call for the second_dev trying to unregister *itself* while it was being removed, leading to a deadlock and rmmod hanging.

Change bmc150_set_second_device() to take 2 arguments: 1. The i2c-client which is instantiating the second i2c-client for the 2nd accelerometer and 2. The second-device pointer itself (which also is an i2c-client).

This will store the second_device pointer in the private data of the iio_dev belonging to the (ACPI instantiated) i2c-client for the first accelerometer and will make bmc150_accel_remove() unregister the second_device i2c-client when called for the first client, avoiding the deadlock.
