Please watch for multi-line alignment. Also, turns out the original
code is wrong: Type casting a function pointer argument like this,
while it typically works in practice, is undefined in C. The function
pointer passed to devm_add_action() needs to point to a local
function with void * argument, and that function needs to call
mutex_destroy() with the same argument. Also, based on the context,
this needs to call devm_add_action_or_reset() to ensure that
the destroy function is called on error.

Thanks,
Guenter
