Subject: stm class: Fix stm device initialization order
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=389b6699a2aa0b457aa69986e9ddf39f3b4030fd;p=linux.git

stm class: Fix stm device initialization order

Currently, stm_register_device() makes the device visible and then
proceeds to initializing spinlocks and other properties, which leaves
a window when the device can already be opened but is not yet fully
operational.

Fix this by reversing the initialization order.
