The modeset lock protects the DDC code from concurrent modeset operations, which use the same registers. Move that code from the connector helpers into the DDC helpers .pre_xfer() and .post_xfer(). Both, .pre_xfer() and .post_xfer(), enclose the transfer of data blocks over the I2C channel in the internal I2C function bit_xfer(). Both calls are executed unconditionally if present. Invoking DDC transfers from any where within the driver now takes the lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
