I see what you are doing and it looks indeed a very safe approach to ensure
the pl1 won't be toggled by other paths while we need some guaranteed state
here, or hw init fails badly.
But in the end you are making your lock to protect the code from another path
and not protecting the data itself. The data was already protected in the
first version with the lock in the rmw.
maybe we need to have some kind of a state check with other state-lock and
then if we are in this forced state for init path, the request for the normal path
ignores and move one, or maybe we queue some request...
