Oh, this seems likely

Ahh, right, sorry I've not had time to do more than glance at the
thread.. and yeah, that one is mostly just trying to solve the reclaim
problem by moving allocations out from under the big-pm-qos-lock.
As far as fadcc3ab1302 ("drm/msm/gpu: Bypass PM QoS constraint for
idle clamp"), it should be just taking the lock that
dev_pm_qos_update_request() would have indirectly, although I guess
without some intervening lock? We can't really avoid taking the
devfreq lock, I don't think. But I'd have to spend time I don't have
right now digging into it..
