[PATCH v5 9/9] driver core: Replace dev->offline + ->offline_disabled with accessors

Tue Apr 7 09:23:02 AEST 2026


In C, bitfields are not necessarily safe to modify from multiple
threads without locking. Switch "offline" and "offline_disabled" over
to the "flags" field so modifications are safe.

Not fixing any known bugs; problem is theoretical and found by code
inspection. Change is done somewhat manually and only lightly tested
(mostly compile-time tested).

(no changes since v4)

Changes in v4:
- Use accessor functions for flags

Changes in v3:
- New
