[PATCH v2 1/9] thermal/core: Destroy thermal zone device mutex in release function

From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Thu Nov 10 2022 - 10:25:13 EST


Accesses to thermal zones, and with it the thermal zone device mutex,
are still possible after the thermal zone device has been unregistered.
For example, thermal_zone_get_temp() can be called from temp_show()
in thermal_sysfs.c if the sysfs attribute was opened before the thermal
device was unregistered.

Move the call to mutex_destroy from thermal_zone_device_unregister()
to thermal_release() to ensure that it is only destroyed after it is
guaranteed to be no longer accessed.
