From: surendra <kr494167@gmail.com>

lp5860_device_init() jumps to err_disable with the mutex held when
regmap_update_bits() fails. The error handler calls lp5860_chip_enable(),
which tries to acquire the same mutex and deadlocks.

Conversely, an lp5860_init_dt() failure reaches the same handler after the
mutex has been released, causing mutex_unlock() to operate on an unlocked
mutex.

Release the mutex immediately after the register update and keep the error
handler lockless.
