The allocation order is as follows:

el15203000_probe()
  mutex_init(&priv->lock);
  el15203000_probe_dt(priv)
    device_for_each_child_node(priv->dev, child) {
      ...
      led->ldev.brightness_set_blocking = el15203000_set_blocking;
      ...
      devm_led_classdev_register_ext(priv->dev, &led->ldev, &init_data);
         dr = devres_alloc(devm_led_classdev_release, sizeof(*dr), GFP_KERNEL);
         <-- dr->node.release = devm_led_classdev_release()
         ...
         devres_add(parent, dr);
         <-- add dr->node to &priv->dev->devres_head

And the full deallocation order should be this:

1. SPI device .remove callback
2. LED device devm_*()
3. SPI device deallocation

spi_unregister_device()
  device_del()
    bus_remove_device()
      device_release_driver_internal()
        __device_release_driver()
          ...
	  device_remove()
	    spi_remove()   <-- call el15203000_remove() here, mutex_destroy(&priv->lock), lock destroy
          ...
          device_unbind_cleanup()
            devres_release_all()
              release_nodes()
              <-- traverse spi->dev->devres_head list and call dr->node.release in sequence.
                   devm_led_classdev_release()
                     led_classdev_unregister()
                     <-- flush set_brightness_work here, before the work flush, set_brightness_work may be sched.
                     <-- that is el15203000_set_blocking()..-> mutex_lock(&led->priv->lock) is called,
                     <-- this leads to the priv->lock use after destroy.
 put_device(&spi->dev) <-- spi device is deallocation in here
