2.6.39-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Pavel Herrmann <morpheus.ibis@gmail.com>
commit d3f684f2820a7f42acef68bea6622d9032127fb2 upstream.
spi_sync call uses its spi_message parameter to keep completion information, using a drvdata structure is not thread-safe. Use a mutex to prevent multiple access to shared driver data.
