From: Sean Young sean@mess.org Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 05:47:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] media: rc: ensure input/lirc device can be opened after register
Since commit cb84343fced1 ("media: lirc: do not call close() or open() on unregistered devices") rc_open() will return -ENODEV if rcdev->registered is false. Ensure this is set before we register the input device and the lirc device, else we have a short window where the neither the lirc or input device can be opened.
Fixes: cb84343fced1 ("media: lirc: do not call close() or open() on unregistered devices")
