Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

lan966x: Fix sleeping in atomic context

The following warning was seen when we try to connect using ssh to the device.

It seems that we are using a mutex in a atomic context which is wrong. Change the mutex with a spinlock.
