When trying to use the spi-mux code the system deadlocked with the spi_add_lock being held by a parent of the new devices being created by the spi-mux. This ended up with a hung task and no devices being added. To try and stop this, I think it is possible (but not certain) to put a lock per-controller to stop new additions when devices are being added to that controller. The lock will also be held when the controller is being removed.
