The function tegra_tsensor_enable_hw_channel() takes the thermal zone lock to prevent "a potential" race with a call to set_trips() callback. The driver must not play with the thermal framework core code internals. The tegra_tsensor_enable_hw_channel() is called by: - the suspend / resume callbacks - the probe function after the thermal zones are registered The thermal zone lock taken in this function is supposed to protect from a call to the set_trips() callback which writes in the same register. The potential race is when suspend / resume are called at the same time as set_trips. This one is called only in thermal_zone_device_update(). - At suspend time, the 'in_suspend' is set, thus the thermal_zone_device_update() bails out immediately and set_trips is not called during this moment. - At resume time, the thermal zone is updated at PM_POST_SUSPEND, thus the driver has already set the TH2 temperature. - At probe time, we register the thermal zone and then we set the TH2. The only scenario I can see so far is the interrupt fires, the thermal_zone_update() is called exactly at the moment tegra_tsensor_enable_hw_channel() a few lines after registering it. Enable the channels before setting up the interrupt. We close the potential race window without using the thermal zone's lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
