mxt_probe() may fail at last step, and the queue_work scheduled by
request_firmware_nowait
may run later and then access some data which is freed.
To handle this error, add one mutex_lock to cover such case. It may cause
module load delay only when the probe fails.
here is the detail.
module load:
worker_thread:
mxt_probe -> mxt_initialize -> request_firmware_nowait (schedule_work)
|
sysfs_create_group (fails)
mxt_config_cb -> mxt_configure_objects (may access data freed)
|
err_free_object: some cleanup work, like free(data).
