The driver is reporting a warning at kernel/time/timer.c:1096 due to calling del_timer_sync() while in interrupt mode. Such warnings are fixed by calling del_timer() instead. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <redacted> Cc: Stable <redacted> Cc: Haggi Eran <redacted>
Hi, I haven't been using kernel v4.1 so I haven't seen this warning, but looking at the code it seems to originate from the two recent patches to remove _cancel_timer and _cancel_timer_ex. I see that there's another patch in lkml [1] that changes del_timer_sync back to del_timer in more places. Perhaps it could prevent other warnings like this in the future.
