This lock is actually not required, as your add/remove_wait_queue calls
are also under chip->controller->lock.

And the one read instruction under a spinlock is a tad pointless anyway.

You could consider using ->active for this; as it stands you never use
both at the same time. Its a tad icky, but it avoids adding that new
field.

That means this would become:

	if (chip->state == FL_HANDOVER && chip->controller->active == &wait) {
		chip->controller->active = chip;
		chip->state = new_state;
	}

	... existing code ...
