Noticed while merging into chromeos-4.4:
This will cause trouble in v4.4.y. Notice the call to "binder_lock(__func__)"
above. This call has been removed upstream, but not in v4.4.y. As a result,
the lock won't be released, which will result in subsequent hangups
if/when the function is called again.
v4.9.y has the same problem. v4.14.y+ are fine.
Greg - can you fix this up yourself or do you want me to send fixup
patches ? It might take a few days for me to get to it.
