Using of devm API leads to a certain order of releasing resources.
So all dependent resources which are not devm-wrapped should be deleted
with respect to devm-release order. Mutex is one of such objects that
often is bound to other resources and has no own devm wrapping.
Since mutex_destroy() actually does nothing in non-debug builds
frequently calling mutex_destroy() is just ignored which is safe for now
but wrong formally and can lead to a problem if mutex_destroy() will be
extended so introduce devm_mutex_init()
Missing period.

Shouldn't this be

#if defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES) && !defined(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT)

(see (1) as well)?

CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT are mutually exclusive. At most one of them can be set.
