They don't have status registers and cannot be masked. If they are not disabled, 
they will continuously generate interrupts. Therefore, I have to disable one and enable the other.

In both HDMI driver and PHY driver, every mailbox access had protected by its owns mutex. 
However, this mutex can only protect each mailbox access within their respective drivers, 
and it cannot provide protection for access between the HDMI and PHY drivers.

The PHY driver only provides two API functions, and these functions are only called in the HDMI driver. 
Therefore, when accessing these functions, we use a mutex to protect them. 
This ensures that mailbox access is protected across different PHY and HDMI drivers.

I agree with that. In fact, I'm a bit confused about the current mode_valid and tmds_char_rate_valid functions.
Ideally, we should find a way to make tmds_char_rate_valid also work for filtering out the mode list, rather than just during atomic_check.
