So basically the usecase is driving some display at 60Hz. And I
believe the display is driven
continuously for at least some minutes ?
If so, RPM between xfers is not really in effect because the
autosuspend delay is 100ms while you
get() it every 16.66ms. So all that is happening is some variables
changed under a spinlock.
I think you should consider get/put RPM in cmdq_mbox_startup() and
cmdq_mbox_shutdown().
