Hmm. I don't recall the details anymore, but looking at the code pushing
the locking down to valleyview_setup_pctx() looks entirely reasonable to
me.

iirc, this locking only exists to keep the WARN() at bay. But it is
pedagogical, I guess.

Don't really know this area, but what about the intel_gen6_powersave_work->valleyview_enable_rps->valleyview_check_pctx which dereferences the dev_priv->vlv_pctx, which is set/cleared in valleyview_setup_pctx/valleyview_cleanup_pctx, which would now be outside both struct_mutex and the rps lock?
