Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] r8152: use mutex for hw settings

v2:
Make sure the autoresume wouldn't occur inside the mutex, otherwise
the dead lock would happen. For the purpose, adjust some code about
autosuspend/autoresume.

v1:
Use mutex to avoid that the serial hw settings would be interrupted
by other settings. Although there is no problem now, it makes the
driver more safe.

Hayes Wang (3):
  r8152: autoresume before setting feature
  r8152: adjust usb_autopm_xxx
  r8152: add mutex for hw settings
