Subject: media: rc: ensure that uevent can be read directly after rc device register
Author:  Sean Young [off-list ref]
Date:    Sun Dec 20 13:29:54 2020 +0100

There is a race condition where if the /sys/class/rc0/uevent file is read
before rc_dev->registered is set to true, -ENODEV will be returned.
