<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">There is a race condition which leads to dpm video power
profile switch (disable and enable) during active video
decode on multi-instance VCN hardware.
This patch aims to fix/skip step 3 in the below sequence:
- inst_1 power_on
- inst_0(idle) power_off
- inst_0(idle) video_power_profile OFF (step 3)
- inst_1 video_power_profile ON during next begin_use
Add flags to track ON/OFF vcn instances and check if all
instances are off before disabling video power profile.
Protect workload_profile_active also within pg_lock and ON it
during first use and OFF it when last VCN instance is powered
OFF. VCN workload_profile_mutex can be removed after similar
clean up is done for vcn2_5.

what if there is a context switch here? since the <span style="white-space: pre-wrap">vcn_pg_lock</span> is per instance -
