From: Matt Renzelmann <mjr@cs.wisc.edu>

All calls to ks8851_rdreg* and ks8851_wrreg* should be protected with
the driver's lock mutex.  A spurious interrupt may otherwise cause a
crash.

Thank you, Mr. Leitner, for providing feedback.  I agree with your
changes and have updated the patch to reflect them.  I apologize for
missing the driver name in the title -- I've updated the patch with
that information as well.  Please let me know if there is anything
else I should fix/change.
