Subject: [PATCH net v5 0/2] Replace improper checks and fix bugs in nfc subsystem

The first patch is used to replace improper checks in netlink related
functions of nfc core, the second patch is used to fix bugs in
nfcmrvl driver.

Duoming Zhou (2):
nfc: replace improper check device_is_registered() in netlink related
functions
nfc: nfcmrvl: main: reorder destructive operations in
nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev to avoid bugs

Subject: [PATCH net v5 1/2] nfc: replace improper check device_is_registered() in netlink related functions

The device_is_registered() in nfc core is used to check whether
nfc device is registered in netlink related functions such as
nfc_fw_download(), nfc_dev_up() and so on. Although device_is_registered()
is protected by device_lock, there is still a race condition between
device_del() and device_is_registered(). The root cause is that
kobject_del() in device_del() is not protected by device_lock.

(cleanup task) | (netlink task)
|
nfc_unregister_device | nfc_fw_download
device_del | device_lock
... | if (!device_is_registered)//(1)
kobject_del//(2) | ...
... | device_unlock

The device_is_registered() returns the value of state_in_sysfs and
the state_in_sysfs is set to zero in kobject_del(). If we pass check in
position (1), then set zero in position (2). As a result, the check
in position (1) is useless.

This patch uses bool variable instead of device_is_registered() to judge
whether the nfc device is registered, which is well synchronized.
