This type of changes should go in a separate patch after this one.

Please, consider also switching this (in yet another separate patch) to
devm_mutex_init().

Before doing it, just kill the message, it is a dup since devm_request_*irq*()
already prints the similar one on the error cases.

So, this patch should be transformed to three
- removing a dup message
- converting to device propries
- utilising the temporary 'dev' variable elsewhere
