On machines with dual accelerometers described in a single ACPI fwnode,
the bmc150_accel_probe() instantiates a second i2c-client for the second
accelerometer.
A pointer to this manually instantiated second i2c-client is stored
inside the iio_dev's private-data through bmc150_set_second_device(),
so that the i2c-client can be unregistered from bmc150_accel_remove().
Before this commit bmc150_set_second_device() took only 1 argument so it
would store the pointer in private-data of the iio_dev belonging to the
manually instantiated i2c-client, leading to the bmc150_accel_remove()
call for the second_dev trying to unregister *itself* while it was
being removed, leading to a deadlock and rmmod hanging.
Change bmc150_set_second_device() to take 2 arguments: 1. The i2c-client
which is instantiating the second i2c-client for the 2nd accelerometer and
2. The second-device pointer itself (which also is an i2c-client).
This will store the second_device pointer in the private data of the
iio_dev belonging to the (ACPI instantiated) i2c-client for the first
accelerometer and will make bmc150_accel_remove() unregister the
second_device i2c-client when called for the first client,
avoiding the deadlock.

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.
