Hi Mike,
Thanks for the patch!

It would be nice if you have any numbers to share in the commit text.

I am wondering if avoiding the inversion on this specific lock is the right
solution, as there could be other locks that may cause similar issues. Do we
see similar issue with clocks for example or is it just with interconnects?

We should also update Kconfig, otherwise i am expecting that the build will fail if
CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES is not enabled.
