[PATCH] hpilo open/close fix

From: David Altobelli
Date: Mon Jan 12 2009 - 15:18:49 EST


Fix to hpilo module, patch against 2.6.28.
The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so increase
the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms).
Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the
channel close routine. Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device
needs to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device
memory cleared of references to freed dma buffer.

Please CC me on any replies.
