The only time that our Bridgeport role should change is when we change the configuration ourselves. In which case we also adjust our internal state tracking, no need to do it again when we receive the corresponding event. Removing the locked section helps a subsequent patch that needs to flush the workqueue while under sbp_lock. It would be nice to raise a warning here in case HW does weird things after all, but this could end up generating false-positives when we change the configuration ourselves.
