This patch fixes following issues in input device (keypad) handling: - requesting IRQ before allocating and initializing parts of the device that can be referenced from IRQ handler is racy, even if we try to disable interrupt after requesting it. Let's move allocations around so that everything is ready by the time we request IRQ. - using threaded interrupt handler to schedule a work item it sub-optimal. Disabling and then re-enabling interrupts in work item and in open/close methods is prone to races and exactly the reason theraded interrupts were introduced. Let's use the infrastructure properly and keep scanning the matrix array in IRQ thread, stopping when there are no keys, or when told to do so.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
