other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &newdev->mutex --> &dev->mutex#2 --> &ff->mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ff->mutex);
                               lock(&dev->mutex#2);
                               lock(&ff->mutex);
  lock(&newdev->mutex);
