Rasmus Villemoes 25be3c170f iio: core: add separate lockdep class for info_exist_lock 
[ Upstream commit 9910159f06 ]

When one iio device is a consumer of another, it is possible that
the ->info_exist_lock of both ends up being taken when reading the
value of the consumer device.

Since they currently belong to the same lockdep class (being
initialized in a single location with mutex_init()), that results in a
lockdep warning

         CPU0
         ----
    lock(&iio_dev_opaque->info_exist_lock);
    lock(&iio_dev_opaque->info_exist_lock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

   May be due to missing lock nesting notation

Just as the mlock_key already has its own lockdep class, add a
lock_class_key for the info_exist mutex.

Note that this has in theory been a problem since before IIO first
left staging, but it only occurs when a chain of consumers is in use
and that is not often done.

Fixes: ac917a8111 ("staging:iio:core set the iio_dev.info pointer to null on unregister under lock.")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
