Re: BUG: drivers/pinctrl/core: races in pinctrl_groups and deferred probing

* H. Nikolaus Schaller hns@goldelico.com [180613 12:41]:

Now if I look into pinctrl_generic_add_group() and pinctrl_generic_get_group_name(), pctldev->num_groups++ is not protected if pinctrl_generic_add_group() may be called by two threads in parallel for the same pctldev. Hence a second thread may try to insert a different node into the radix tree at the same selector index. This fails but there is no error check - and the second entry is completely missing (but probably assumed to be there).

Sounds like pinctrl-single.c is missing mutex around calls to pinctrl_generic_add_group()?
