Currently wait_event_interruptible_timeout is called in cec_thread_func()
when adap->transmitting is set. But if the adapter is unconfigured
while transmitting, then adap->transmitting is set to NULL. But the
hardware is still actually transmitting the message, and that's
indicated by adap->transmit_in_progress and we should wait until that
is finished or times out before transmitting new messages.
As the original commit says: adap->transmitting is the userspace view,
adap->transmit_in_progress reflects the hardware state.
However, if adap->transmitting is NULL and adap->transmit_in_progress
is true, then wait_event_interruptible is called (no timeout), which
can get stuck indefinitely if the CEC driver is flaky and never marks
the transmit-in-progress as 'done'.
So test against transmit_in_progress when deciding whether to use
the timeout variant or not, instead of testing against adap->transmitting.

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.
