Subject: mmc: fix a race between card-detect rescan and clock-gate work
instances
From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <[email protected]>
commit 26fc8775b51484d8c0a671198639c6d5ae60533e upstream.
Currently there is a race in the MMC core between a card-detect
rescan work and the clock-gating work, scheduled from a command
completion. Fix it by removing the dedicated clock-gating mutex
and using the MMC standard locking mechanism instead.
