A race exists when initializing ueagle-atm devices where the generic atm
device may not yet be created before the driver attempts to initialize
it's PHY signal state, which checks whether the atm device has been
created or not. This often causes the sysfs 'carrier' attribute to be
'1' even though no signal has actually been found.
uea_probe
usbatm_usb_probe
driver->bind (uea_bind)
uea_boot
kthread_run(uea_kthread) uea_kthread
usbatm_atm_init uea_start_reset
atm_dev_register UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL
UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL checks whether the ATM device has been created and if
not, will not update the PHY signal state. Because of the race that
does not always happen in time, and the PHY signal state remains
ATM_PHY_SIG_FOUND even though no signal exists.
To fix the race, just create the kthread during initialization, and only
after initialization is complete, start the thread that reboots the
device and initializes PHY state.
