I did consider this as well, but while I certainly don't like the
current design I think it would be easy to miss the fact that the two
"different" modules share the lock.

This is correct.

As we've seen the two modules are tightly coupled, and it's full of slow
function pointer calls, so I'm definitely in favor of us refactoring
this into a single thing.
Further more, rather than dealing with the callback lists in
dpu_core_irq, I think we should explore just implementing this as
another chained irq handler, and just use the common IRQ code directly -
it has a known API and is known to work.
That said, such redesign will take a little bit of time and we
definitely need to squash the deadlock, as my laptop only survives 10-15
minutes with two displays active.
So if we agree that we want to squash the two modules, then your
suggestion of sharing the lock seems like a reasonable intermediate
workaround. I'll respin and retest my patch accordingly.
