Subject: [RFC][PATCH v2] drm: kirin: Add a mutex to avoid fb initialization race

In some cases I've been seeing a race where two framebuffers
would be initialized, as kirin_fbdev_output_poll_changed()
might get called quickly in succession, resulting in the
initialization happening twice. This could cause the system
to boot up with a blank screen.

This patch adds a simple mutex to serialize it and seems to
avoid the race.

Suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
