There are different init functions for the sensors in this driver in which only one initialize the generic vcnl4000_lock. With commit e21b5b1f2669 ("iio: light: vcnl4000: Preserve conf bits when toggle power") the vcnl4040 sensor started to depend on the lock, but it was missed to initialize it in vcnl4040's init function. This has not been visible until we run lockdep on it: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock) at kernel/locking/mutex.c:575 __mutex_lock+0x4f8/0x890 Call trace: __mutex_lock mutex_lock_nested vcnl4200_set_power_state vcnl4200_init vcnl4000_probe i2c_device_probe really_probe __driver_probe_device driver_probe_device __driver_attach bus_for_each_dev driver_attach bus_add_driver driver_register i2c_register_driver vcnl4000_driver_init do_one_initcall do_init_module load_module __do_sys_finit_module Fix this by initializing the lock in the probe function instead of doing it in the chip specific init functions.
