[ARM] pxafb: avoid the racing condition in pxafb_smart_thread
fbi->state change shall really be protected by fbi->ctrlr_lock, where the change is sheltered. There is a possibility that pxafb_smart_thread will start update the LCD panel when fbi->state == C_ENABLE, while all other initialization isn't done. Signed-off-by: Eric Miao <eric.miao@marvell.com>
