This is already fixed in

    drm/i915: Fix race condition in accessing GMBUS

There are also a few gmbus changes already queued up in my -next tree at 

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/log/?h=drm-intel-next-queued

Please rebase your patch series on top of that (with Chris' suggestion
