From 00ce99ff506a17882747a7d6874e3f5206a99043 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 09:14:11 +0100 Subject: pcmcia: simplify locking replace pcmcia_socket->lock and pcmcia_dev_list_lock by using the per-socket "ops_mutex", as we do neither need different locks nor a spinlock here.
