    leds: trigger: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context · 3a40cfe8
    Baolin Wang authored
    We will meet below issue due to mutex_lock() is called in interrupt context.
    The mutex lock is used to protect the pattern trigger data, but before changing
    new pattern trigger data (pattern values or repeat value) by users, we always
    cancel the timer firstly to clear previous patterns' performance. That means
    there is no race in pattern_trig_timer_function(), so we can drop the mutex
    lock in pattern_trig_timer_function() to avoid this issue.
    
    Moreover we can move the timer cancelling into mutex protection, since there
    is no deadlock risk if we remove the mutex lock in pattern_trig_timer_function().
