That's not true. You had the static already in v2, before Srini commented.

Look:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1679491817-2498-5-git-send-email-quic_mojha@xxxxxxxxxxx/

+static struct minidump minidump;
+static DEFINE_MUTEX(minidump_lock);

We do not talk about the names.

Wait, you say that something can modify local variable md before it is
assigned to __md? How?

No, you are protecting random things. Nothing will concurrently modify
md and &pdev->dev in this moment. mdgtoc is allocated above, so also
cannot by modified.

Otherwise show me the hypothetical scenario.

Anyone can instantiate more of them.... how did you solve it?

Which part of coding style recommends __ for driver code?

No, the order is always reversed from allocation. It does not matter if
they are dependent or not.
