In my tree currently this code grabs mode_config->mutex, so it should
be fine wrt
the connector list disappearing, as removing connectors is protected
my mode_config->mutex
as well.

if we do add a spinlock, we need to be careful about dropping it and restarting
the loops etc, as I would guess there are a fair few paths we don't
want to descend
holding the spin lock, due to possible sleeping/scheduling etc.

I think the intel_hpd_irq_reenable_work is the one that stands out to
me, the short
hotplug paths don't traverse connector lists deliberately to avoid the problem.

Dave.
