From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.este...@freescale.com> After request_threaded_irq() is called there is a chance that an interrupt may occur before the 'mc13xxx->lock' is initialized, which will trigger a kernel oops.
In order to prevent that, move the initialization of 'mc13xxx->lock' prior to requesting the interrupts.
