Sudhir Sreedharan 661364d5f3 rtl8187: Fix NULL pointer dereference in priv->conf_mutex 
commit 7972326a26 upstream.

This can be reproduced by bind/unbind the driver multiple times
in AM3517 board.

Analysis revealed that rtl8187_start() was invoked before probe
finishes(ie. before the mutex is initialized).

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

README 

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
