can you pls paste the lockdep spew here? I think I see the locking
recursion but would like to be sure.

Without this there's no place any more where we stop this worker on
teardown. Generally we need to sync with outstanding work at least in
system suspend and on driver unload. I think we need a flush_work (outside
of the locked region ofc!) in drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_suspend and
drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_destroy. Might be better as a follow-up patch, but
should imo be part of this.

With lockdep splat + 2x flush_work this is Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter at ffwll.ch>
