I have not checked fully but since it is being called from probe() I
assume the lock will be held at that time.
This is from linux-next and the original commit is in "for-next"
branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shawnguo/linux.git
repo. I came across this problem while doing my daily allmodconfig
builds. The build log is at
https://travis-ci.com/github/sudipm-mukherjee/linux-test/jobs/429382451#L24431
