Re: linux-2.6.0-test9 patch update

[Chris E. <chr...@co...>]

Ok, a couple more changes.  I noticed that lirc_lock was being used as a
spin lock so irqlock was unnecessary, so now all spin locks use the same
var.  Also, stupid me, didn't initialize the lock, which probably is why
your computer dead-locked when inserting the module.

Attached please find a patch which updates lirc_serial.c from my previous
patch.  Patch from root of linux tree with -p1.  Let me know if it works
and if so I'll release an -oh4 patch.  What does the oh mean anyway?

Chris.
