Hi,

thanks for the patch, but now sensors->lock will remain initialized
even when dell_wmi_ddv_channel_create() fails. To be honest i do not
think that using devm_mutex_init() makes much sense here, because the
lifetime of the sensor cache can end before the device lifetime (if
dell_wmi_ddv_channel_create() returns an error).

Thanks,
Armin Wolf
