If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5ac94a5fd4929d28796da6d80caf84811b7b736f Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 15 10:02:27 2022 +0200 leds: lm3601x: Don't use mutex after it was destroyed [ Upstream commit 32f7eed0c763a9b89f6b357ec54b48398fc7b99e ] The mutex might still be in use until the devm cleanup callback devm_led_classdev_flash_release() is called. This only happens some time after lm3601x_remove() completed.
