[PATCH 0/1] drm/i915: Fix a deadlock that only affects 5.4

Hi,

There's a mutex lock deadlock in i915 that only affects 5.4, but was fixed in
5.5. Normally, I would send a backport of the fix from 5.5, but the patch set
that fixes the deadlock involves massive changes that are neither feasible nor
desirable for backporting [1][2][3]. Therefore, I've made a small patch that
only addresses the deadlock specifically for 5.4.

Thanks,
Sultan
