3.13.11.1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guenter Roeck <linux at roeck-us.net>

commit 204747c970c0d568721c76ab8a57dde0e5dcf0d5 upstream.

On PXT and COMe-cPC2 boards it is observed that the hardware
mutex is acquired but not being released during initialization.
This can result in a hang-up during boot if the driver is built
into the kernel.

Releasing the mutex twice if it was acquired fixes the problem.
Subsequent request/release cycles work as expected, so the fix is
only needed during initialization.
