The mutex must be initialized before the LED class device is registered otherwise there is a race where it may get used before it is initialized: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock) WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2045 at kernel/locking/mutex.c:587 __mutex_lock ... RIP: 0010:__mutex_lock+0x7db/0xc10 ... set_brightness_delayed_set_brightness.part.0+0x17/0x60 set_brightness_delayed+0xf1/0x100 process_one_work+0x222/0x5a0 Move the mutex_init() call earlier to avoid this race condition and switch to devm_mutex_init() to avoid the need to add error-exit cleanup to probe() if probe() fails later on.
