led_trigger_event() does read_lock() then calls led_set_brightness()
which indirectly calls sdhci_led_control() which does mutex_lock().  

That mutex_lock() was added by sdhci-turn-host-lock-into-a-mutex.patch.

Anton, those patches aren't going very well - I think I'll drop

sdhci-turn-timeout-timer-into-delayed-work.patch
sdhci-use-work-structs-instead-of-tasklets.patch
sdhci-use-work-structs-instead-of-tasklets-fix.patch
sdhci-clear-interrupt-status-register-just-once.patch
sdhci-use-threaded-irq-handler.patch
sdhci-turn-host-lock-into-a-mutex.patch
sdhci-get-rid-of-card-detect-work.patch
sdhci-get-rid-of-card-detect-work-fix.patch
sdhci-get-rid-of-mdelays-where-it-is-safe-and-makes-sense.patch
sdhci-use-jiffies-instead-of-a-timeout-counter.patch
