The following pattern occurs 5 times in kernel drivers: lockdep_register_key(key); __mutex_init(mutex, name, key); In several cases the 'name' argument matches #mutex. Hence, introduce the mutex_init_with_key() macro. This macro derives the 'name' argument from the 'mutex' argument.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
