On machines with dual accelerometers described in a single ACPI fwnode, the bmc150_accel_probe() instantiates a second i2c-client for the second accelerometer. A pointer to this manually instantiated second i2c-client is stored inside the iio_dev's private-data through bmc150_set_second_device(), so that the i2c-client can be unregistered from bmc150_accel_remove(). Before this commit bmc150_set_second_device() took only 1 argument so it would store the pointer in private-data of the iio_dev belonging to the manually instantiated i2c-client, leading to the bmc150_accel_remove() call for the second_dev trying to unregister *itself* while it was being removed, leading to a deadlock and rmmod hanging. Change bmc150_set_second_device() to take 2 arguments: 1. The i2c-client which is instantiating the second i2c-client for the 2nd accelerometer and 2. The second-device pointer itself (which also is an i2c-client). This will store the second_device pointer in the private data of the iio_dev belonging to the (ACPI instantiated) i2c-client for the first accelerometer and will make bmc150_accel_remove() unregister the second_device i2c-client when called for the first client, avoiding the deadlock.

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.
