Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] leds: leds-lp55xx: Convert mutex lock/unlock to guard

Thanks that you would like to support another bit of collateral evolution.

* Would you get into the mood to benefit any more from applications
  of scope-based resource management?

* Will development interests accordingly grow to adjust further source code places
  according to known pairs of function calls?

I find cover letters helpful for patch series.

I guess that this proposed addition is not directly needed here (and related places)
because the header file is included for the macro call “DEFINE_GUARD(mutex, …)” already.

How do you think about to omit any blank lines (also at similar places)?
