But simplicity wins I guess.
Thinking more about this, I am not sure we have any guarantee that TX

Using an unique syncp is not going to be safe, even if we make lockdep

Unfortunately you are right. It is not guaranteed for some hardware.
Does it mean that the fix proposed by Eric is not the proper solution?
