Yeah, this is a pretty common problem. We usually use a mutex in conjunction
with a work function to handle this type of thing.

Ah, this was the missing piece I needed. I hadn't realized that the first
VGA_AUTO_DETECT_SEL write in get_modes disabled the irq.

Yep, agreed. Can you also please add to your comment in the !edid case,
something like:

* Locking is not required here since the only other place to write this register
* (and connected var) is the irq handler. The irq handler is disabled because
* we've cleared AUTO_DETECT_SEL above.

Thanks for walking me through this.
