    drm: Take lock around probes for drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event · 752d2635
    Chris Wilson authored
    
    
    We need to hold the dev->mode_config.mutex whilst detecting the output
    status. But we also need to drop it for the call into
    drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe(), which indirectly acquires the lock when
    attaching the fbcon.
    
    Failure to do so exposes a race with normal output probing. Detected by
    adding some warnings that the mutex is held to the backend detect routines:
