[PATCH 5/9] of: add self parameter to of_update_property()

Zev Weiss zev at bewilderbeest.net
Thu Oct 7 11:09:50 AEDT 2021


This is to indicate that the property is being updated via its own
sysfs method so that we ultimately call into kernfs_remove_self() and
avoid the deadlock that would occur otherwise.
