In probe function, request_firmware_nowait() is called to load firmware asynchronously. At completion of firmware loading, register_netdev() is called. However, a mutex needed by netdev is initialized after the call to request_firmware_nowait(). Consequently, it can happen that register_netdev() is called before the driver is ready. Move the mutex initialization into r8712_init_drv_sw(), which is called before request_firmware_nowait().
