Thanks, the thing which made me say that I am not sure it completely makes sense is that the mmio_msg appears to only be used from guc_enable_communication and 
guc_disable_communication, which I would assume should be mutually exclusive by itself already. So I was not sure what value is there in the locking around mmio_msg access.

And even in guc_enable_communication we have a sequence of:

	guc_get_mmio_msg(guc);
	guc_handle_mmio_msg(guc);

Which expands to:

static void guc_get_mmio_msg(struct intel_guc *guc)
{
	u32 val;

	spin_lock_irq(&guc->irq_lock);

	val = intel_uncore_read(guc_to_gt(guc)->uncore, SOFT_SCRATCH(15));
	guc->mmio_msg |= val & guc->msg_enabled_mask;

	/*
	 * clear all events, including the ones we're not currently servicing,
	 * to make sure we don't try to process a stale message if we enable
	 * handling of more events later.
	 */
	guc_clear_mmio_msg(guc);

	spin_unlock_irq(&guc->irq_lock);
}

static void guc_handle_mmio_msg(struct intel_guc *guc)
{
	/* we need communication to be enabled to reply to GuC */
	GEM_BUG_ON(!guc_communication_enabled(guc));

	spin_lock_irq(&guc->irq_lock);
	if (guc->mmio_msg) {
		intel_guc_to_host_process_recv_msg(guc, &guc->mmio_msg, 1);
		guc->mmio_msg = 0;
	}
	spin_unlock_irq(&guc->irq_lock);
}

So it seems a bit pointless. Nevertheless I only wanted to remove usage of i915->irq_lock.

Tvrtko
