I may be missing some discussion here.

The idea to avoid the numerous calls to pps_lock()/unlock() during an EDID
transfer by locking on the outer instead of the inner layer to me still seems
to have some merit.
Daniel and Ville were afraid that the slightly simplistic solution I proposed
won't scale when new DPCP transfers are added. 
Thus it was proposed to add the pps_lock()/unlock() operations to the outer
layer where appropriate and extend the locking/unlocking itself with some ref
counter to avoid deadlocking by calling these operations on the outer and inner
layer.

Not sure if this idea is void now or still worth pursuing - Ville?
