Hi Maìra,

Thanks for pointing to this patch, it does not apply on drm-misc-next, but 
it was simple to manually rebase (see [0]).

I think it should solve the issue, and the CI seems to agree.

But it seems to be imperfect, as it introduce a warning on mutex unlock 
imbalance [1] (not always reproducable). It is better than a kernel crash 
already.

Do you want/have time to continue this fix?
