In case we have multiple modesets for different connectors
happening in parallel we could have a race on the RMW on these
shared registers.
This possibility was initially raised by Paulo when reviewing
commit '555e38d27317 ("drm/i915/cnl: DDI - PLL mapping")'
but the original possibility comes from commit '5416d871136d
("drm/i915/skl: Set the eDP link rate on DPLL0")'. Or maybe
later when atomic commits entered into picture.
Apparently the discussion around this topic showed that the
right solution would be on serializing the atomic commits in
a way that we don't have the possibility of races here since
if that parallel modeset happenings apparently many other
things will be on fire.
Code is there since SKL and there was no report of issue,
but since we never looked back to that serialization possibility,
and also we don't have an igt case for that it is better to at
least protect this corner.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
