s5p-mfc: Fix race between s5p_mfc_probe() and s5p_mfc_open()
The s5p_mfc_probe() function registers the video devices before all the resources needed by s5p_mfc_open() are correctly initalized. So if s5p_mfc_open() function is called before s5p_mfc_probe() finishes (since the video dev is already registered), a NULL pointer dereference will happen due s5p_mfc_open() accessing uninitialized vars such as the struct s5p_mfc_dev .watchdog_timer and .mfc_ops fields. An example is following BUG caused by add_timer() getting a NULL pointer: [ 45.765374] kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:790! [ 45.765381] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM ...
