One lock is held by sysfs-core and another one by the driver itself. This happened when the driver created or removed sysfs entries dynamically. There is no real need to do those operations. Now all the sysfs entries are created at probe and removed at removal. Engine load sysfs entries are now visible all the time. However, access to the entries fails if the engine is disabled or running.
