I don't see this happening, where do you see it?

Yes each register RMW is independent. In Patch 3 only hwm_power_write (not
hwm_power_read) is taking the lock for RMW on pkg_rapl_limit (lock is not
taken for pkg_power_sku_unit). So the assumption is that RMW of a single
register are not atomic and must be serialized with a lock. Reads are
considered to not need a lock.

Thanks.
