[PATCH] platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: Init mutex in Thunderbolt registration

From: Tzung-Bi Shih

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 01:35:12 EST


cros_typec_register_thunderbolt() missed initializing the `adata->lock`
mutex. This leads to a NULL dereference when the mutex is later
acquired (e.g. in cros_typec_altmode_work()).

Initialize the mutex in cros_typec_register_thunderbolt() to fix the
issue.
