Nice. Was there push back? Why didn't it go in?

Is that necessary? I was wondering about that but there's this comment
in the code:

*  ... Locks, especially struct
 * &drm_modeset_lock, should not be held in worker threads or any other
 * asynchronous context used to commit the hardware state.

So it made me think there would be no locks held, and then I threw a
scratch build
at someone who reported it didn't deadlock and solved their issue.
