## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: adc: adi-axi-adc: Initialize state mutex

The AXI ADC register access paths serialize transactions with st->lock,
but probe does not initialize it. Initialize the mutex before registering
the backend.

## Affected

- `Linux >= 7ecb8ee5c93be9f00cbf090f7f53b2a32d995184 < b473ee29aa0d39e7a7568b9675b15db2b0ae6057`
- `Linux >= 7ecb8ee5c93be9f00cbf090f7f53b2a32d995184 < dec6193cef07e5915da0d6dd17725292d469e4aa`
- `Linux >= 7ecb8ee5c93be9f00cbf090f7f53b2a32d995184 < 549b71ce050637dd32678371ad76c445a2f8c9aa`
- `Linux 6.10`
