From: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> xhci->mutex was added in xhci_alloc_dev() to protect two race sources (xhci->slot_id and xhci->addr_dev) by commit a00918d0521d ("usb: host: xhci: add mutex for non-thread-safe data"). While xhci->slot_id has been discarded in commit c2d3d49bba08 ("usb: xhci: move slot_id from xhci_hcd to xhci_command structure"), and xhci->addr_dev has been removed in commit 87e44f2aac8d ("usb: xhci: remove the use of xhci->addr_dev"), it's now safe to remove the use of xhci->mutex in xhci_alloc_dev().
