Subject: [media] rc: sunxi-cir: Initialize the spinlock properly

From: Chen-Yu Tsai <[email protected]>

commit 768acf46e1320d6c41ed1b7c4952bab41c1cde79 upstream.

The driver allocates the spinlock but fails to initialize it correctly. The kernel reports a BUG indicating bad spinlock magic when spinlock debugging is enabled.

Call spin_lock_init() on it to initialize it correctly.
