It seems I have no original at hand, so, commenting here. It looks like we need a mutex less function which can be used here and in the call you are considering racy. Note, mutex followed by spin lock is fine, other way around is not. So, here you should have something like mutex_lock ok_for_gpio = ... spin_lock ... spin_unlock mutex_unlock.

The thing is this mutex is in pinctrl - we'd need to export it too so that gpio can use it. Bart

Oh, I see now. So, something like pinctrl_ext_operation_begin() .... pinctrl_ext_operation_end() perhaps.
