As I've said before, you can not just have one of these.  They need to
be per-bus structure.  Or per-device, something dynamic, not static like
this.

Your locking is odd for a single pointer, why is it needed at all?

Also you check the pointer before using the lock, which defeats the lock
in the first place.
