Thanks for comments! I will correct the lock to protect port->full_pbn.

Just want to make sure full_pbn value is greater than zero. As you mention in another patch, it's hard to predict sink report full or available PBN properly.

This sounds good. DRM driver provide a public function call for different vendor to check the current mode exceed PBN's limitation or not.
