Only one single SCMI Virtio device is currently supported by this driver and it is referenced using a static global variable which is initialized once for all during probing and nullified at virtio device removal. Add proper SMP barriers to protect accesses to such device reference to ensure that the initialzation state of such device is correctly observed by all PEs at any time. Return -EBUSY, instead of -EINVAL, and a descriptive error message if more than one SCMI Virtio device is ever found and probed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
