From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> ov8865_state_init() calls ov8865_state_mipi_configure() which uses __v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl[_int64](). This means that sensor->mutex (which is also sensor->ctrls.handler.lock) must be locked before calling ov8865_state_init(). Note ov8865_state_mipi_configure() is also used in other places where the lock is already held so it cannot be changed itself. This fixes the following lockdep kernel WARN: [ 13.233413] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 13.233421] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 8 at drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ctrls-api.c:833 __v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl+0x4d/0x60 [videodev] ...
