From 635244c59c27d3b22c4523d2a951cf553195a966 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Kaehlcke Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:32:38 -0700 Subject: fix spinlock usage in hysdn_log_close() Fix incorrect spinlock use in hysdn_log_close(). The function declared a spinlock on the stack and used it to 'protect' a shared driver structure. The patch simply removes the useless code.
