The KSZ driver uses one regmap per register width (8/16/32), each with it's own lock, but accessing the same set of registers. In theory, it is possible to create a race condition between these regmaps, although the underlying bus (SPI or I2C) locking should assure nothing bad will really happen and the accesses would be correct. To make the driver do the right thing, add one single shared mutex for all the regmaps used by the driver instead. This assures that even if some future hardware is on a bus which does not serialize the accesses the same way SPI or I2C does, nothing bad will happen. Note that the status_mutex was unused and only initied, hence it was renamed and repurposed as the regmap mutex.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
