No worries at all. Happy to do that change if the patches are easy to
understand. It took me some time as well to wrap my head around all
the race conditions and needed locking.

Same for patch 3/7, but I'm convinced that dropping the lock is the
correct thing to do than calling to drivers' .remove callbacks with
a lock held.
