It could be observed when user space releases a video engine dev entry
handle while video mode is changing. You could reproduce it by repeating
reload of KVM web page just after trigger a host reset. It rarely
happens.

Okay, I'll add the bit field into video->flags.

Right, since clk-aspeed module can trigger a reset while enabling the
vclk or eclk, it could be removed later, but this patch is not for that.

aspeed_video_on() and aspeed_video_off() can be called from driver
context and from interrupt context so some video enable/disable
relating code also need to be serialized.
Will submit v2 soon after replacing the boolean variable with
VIDEO_CLOCKS_ON flag.
Thanks,
Jae
