So now the callers have to declare the mutex in a source file, which results
in a checkpatch warning. This is not acceptable.

This is not my major issue with this patch, though. It creates an artificial
dependency between the watchdog driver, the i2c driver, and the USB host
code, which I think is a really bad idea.

Either the drivers accessing the IO region in question should use
request_muxed_region(), or there should be an explicit API, located somewhere
in core AMD kernel code, to access it.
