+Subject: [PATCH] [media] ds3000: remove useless 'locking'
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Since b9bf2eafaad9c1ef02fb3db38c74568be601a43a, the function
+ds3000_firmware_ondemand() is called only once during init. This
+locking scheme may have been useful when the firmware was loaded at
+each tune.
+Furthermore, it looks like this 'lock' was put in to prevent concurrent
+access (and not recursion as the comments suggest). However, this open-
+coded mechanism is anything but race-free and should have used a proper
+mutex.
