In the synchronous approach dpu_encoder_toggle_vblank_for_crtc(which 
acquires the enc_spinlock) will be called while we
are holding the vbl_time_lock.

I agree that vblank_irq handler should not be running before the enable 
sequence. But
don't you expect the handler to be running while calling the 
vblank_disable sequence?
vbl disable will try to acquire the locks in the opposite order to that 
of irq_handler and the
same issue is bound to happen.

With your patch, you should be able to simulate this deadlock if you can 
inject a delay
by adding a pr_err log in vblank_ctrl_queue_work
