Ref: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199323 Users are experiencing problems with the DVBSky S960/S960C USB devices since the following commit: 9d659ae: ("locking/mutex: Add lock handoff to avoid starvation") The device malfunctions after running for an indeterminable period of time, and the problem can only be cleared by rebooting the machine. It is possible to encourage the problem to surface by blocking the signal to the LNB. Further debugging revealed the cause of the problem.

Use regmap_multi_reg_write to group the two reset messages, ensuring both are processed before the regmap mutex is unlocked.
