This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: ni_usb6501: Fix use of uninitialized mutex
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

If `ni6501_auto_attach()` returns an error, the core comedi module code will call `ni6501_detach()` to clean up. If `ni6501_auto_attach()` successfully allocated the comedi device private data, `ni6501_detach()` assumes that a `struct mutex mut` contained in the private data has been initialized and uses it. Unfortunately, there are a couple of places where `ni6501_auto_attach()` can return an error after allocating the device private data but before initializing the mutex, so this assumption is invalid. Fix it by initializing the mutex just after allocating the private data in `ni6501_auto_attach()` before any other errors can be retturned. Also move the call to `usb_set_intfdata()` just to keep the code a bit neater (either position for the call is fine).
I believe this was the cause of the following syzbot crash report https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=cf4f2b6c24aff0a3edf6:
