staging: drm/omap: avoid aquiring mutex in atomic context (v2)
omap_gem_roll() could be called by fbcon in atomic context or when struct_mutext is held. Avoid aquiring mutex (deadlock), or calling tiler_pin() (which itself is not safe for atomic context) in these cases. Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <rob@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
