[PATCH v2 0/9] thermal/core: Protect thermal device operations against removal

[Guenter Roeck]

Accesses to thermal zones, and with it to thermal zone device operations,
are still possible after the thermal zone device has been unregistered.
For example, thermal_zone_get_temp() can be called from temp_show()
in thermal_sysfs.c if the sysfs attribute was opened before the thermal
device was unregistered. This is problematic and may result in crashes
since the operations data structure and the underlying code may be gone
when the calls are made.

The following series solves the problem by protecting accesses to thermal
device operations with the thermal device mutex, and by verifying that the
thermal device is still registered after the mutex has been acquired.

This was previously sent as RFC/RFT as single patch [1]. The code was reworked
to match thermal subsystem changes made between v6.0 and v6.1, and it was
split into several patches to simplify review.
