[PATCH v4 00/10] devm_led_classdev_register() usage problem

[George Stark <gnstark@salutedevices.com>]

This patch series fixes the problem of devm_led_classdev_register misusing.

The basic problem is described in [1]. Shortly when devm_led_classdev_register()
is used then led_classdev_unregister() called after driver's remove() callback.
led_classdev_unregister() calls driver's brightness_set callback and that callback
may use resources which were destroyed already in driver's remove().

After discussion with maintainers [2] [3] we decided:
1) don't touch led subsytem core code and don't remove led_set_brightness() from it
but fix drivers
2) don't use devm_led_classdev_unregister

So the solution is to use devm wrappers for all resources
driver's brightness_set() depends on. And introduce dedicated devm wrapper
for mutex as it's often used resource.
