Hi John,

I might understand this race. This because two places call drm_helper_hpd_irq_event might cause the race:
One place is here
static int kirin_drm_kms_init(struct drm_device *dev)
{
...
    /* force detection after connectors init */
    (void)drm_helper_hpd_irq_event(dev);
...
}

another is the adv7533 interrupt thread handler
static int adv7511_irq_process(struct adv7511 *adv7511, bool process_hpd)
{
...
    if (process_hpd && irq0 & ADV7511_INT0_HPD && adv7511->bridge.encoder)
        drm_helper_hpd_irq_event(adv7511->connector.dev);
...
}

right?

I don't get a better way to fix this yet , I like to put fb_lock into kirin_drm_private.
And it seems hard to fix this in the core drm_helper_hpd_irq_event.

to boot up with a blank screen.

This patch adds a simple mutex to serialize it and seems to
avoid the race.

Obviously I suspect this patch isn't the best solution, but
I wanted to send it out as something concrete to discuss the
bug.

Suggestions or feedback for a better solution would be greatly
appreciated.
