'extern' is pointless and deprecated on function prototypes. Already 
having some is not a good reason to add new ones, errors from the past 
should be avoided nowadays. With time they should all disappear so don't 
add new ones.

It is already done that way for other functions in that file. Should be 
kept consistant. I agree with you it is not ideal, maybe we should 
rework that file completely but I don't like the idea of a 
devm_mutex_init macro for that.
