I should have clarified here, that:

This patch has only been *build* tested.

Since I have no way to run this on real H/W.

Please ensure this is tested on real H/W before it gets applied, since
it *may* have some undesired side-effects.  For instance, I have no
idea if client->lock plays nicely with dev->smi_lock or whether this
may well end up in deadlock.

TIA.
