Subject: platform/chrome: cros_ec_chardev: Add event relayer
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6c1977b1f760d7ec71da78781f1d9eeb7a0e21f2;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

platform/chrome: cros_ec_chardev: Add event relayer

Introduce an event relayer mechanism.  Instead of each open file
registering directly with `ec_dev->event_notifier`, the platform device
registers a single relayer notifier.  Individual files then register
with a local subscribers list in `chardev_pdata`.

This allows the driver to safely disconnect from the event chain
`ec_dev->event_notifier` during cros_ec_chardev_remove(), preventing
events from being delivered to open files after the device is removed,
while still allowing those files to be closed safely later.
