[PATCH 12/12] drm/panthor: Fix unplug in the reset path

Message-ID <[email protected]>
We can't use disable_work_sync() if panthor_device_unplug() is called
from the reset work or we'll deadlock. Pass a from_reset_work bool to
the panthor_device_unplug() function and lower the disable_work_sync()
to a disable_work() in that case.

We also add debugfs knobs to simulate this situation.

Maybe we should use a separate work and call device_release_driver()
instead of calling panthor_device_unplug() directly. This would allow
us to actually detach the device from panthor so it can later be
re-attached without an explicit unbind/bind or rmmod/modprobe sequence.
The problem is, this gets racy if the device is manually
unbound/rebound, and it's hard to fix that race, so let's keep this
for later.
