Subject: [PATCH 4.4 116/342] [media] rc: sunxi-cir: Initialize the spinlock properly

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chen-Yu Tsai <wens@...e.org>

commit 768acf46e1320d6c41ed1b7c4952bab41c1cde79 upstream.

The driver allocates the spinlock but fails to initialize it correctly.
The kernel reports a BUG indicating bad spinlock magic when spinlock
debugging is enabled.

Call spin_lock_init() on it to initialize it correctly.

Fixes: b4e3e59fb59c ("[media] rc: add sunxi-ir driver")
