exist the below call sequences may cause deadlock:
isst_if_probe()
--> isst_if_cdev_register()
--> mutex_lock(&punit_misc_dev_lock)
--> misc_register()
--> mutex_lock(&misc_mtx)
misc_open()
--> mutex_lock(&misc_mtx)
--> isst_if_open()
--> mutex_lock(&punit_misc_dev_lock)
to fix this do not hold punit_misc_dev_lock when call misc_register
since it has misc_mtx lock for sync.
