Subject: [PATCH 4.8 85/92] mmc: mxs: Initialize the spinlock prior to using it

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

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

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@....com>

commit f91346e8b5f46aaf12f1df26e87140584ffd1b3f upstream.

An interrupt may occur right after devm_request_irq() is called and
prior to the spinlock initialization, leading to a kernel oops,
as the interrupt handler uses the spinlock.

In order to prevent this problem, move the spinlock initialization
prior to requesting the interrupts.
