Hi Danilo,
I've finally got a replacement Juno board that it is stable enough.
I've tried your v2 on top of 7860d720a84c ("drm/msm: Fix build break with recent mm tree") which
is the head of drm-next today and rmmod hangs. /proc/<pid_of_rmmod>/stack shows:

My quick guess would be that the mixing of managed and unmanaged APIs manages to
confuse the sleepable RCUs and we get the hang. Will chat with Daniel Vetter next
week at XDC on what would be the best approach here.
