mutex_lock is acquired but not released before return.
Use 'goto out' to help releasing the mutex_lock.

Fixes: c210063b40ac ("cupful: mediatek: Add opp notification support")
cupful ??
Sorry for the typo...
Did you write this line by hand or generate it with Git ? There shouldn't be a
typo here.

Yes, I write this line by hand.
There must be something wrong when copying the subject line.

Maybe I should find some tools in git to avoid it in the future.
By the way, is this patch correct?

I am not sure whether it should return with the mutex_lock.
But IMO, it should release the lock before return.
Yes, we need to release the lock.
OK, I'll fix it in v2.

Thanks,
