I would think that the lock inversion issue was introduced here:
1b44019a93e2 ("drm/i915/guc: Disable PL1 power limit when loading GuC firmware")
This is the commit which introduced this sequence:
lock(>->reset.mutex);
lock(&hwmon->hwmon_lock);
Before this, everything was fine. So perhaps the Fixes tag should reference
this commit?
Otherwise the patch LGTM:
