In case dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() and
dev_pm_opp_register_set_opp_helper() get called at the same time.
Which can actually happen, though is a corner case.

I am not sure what you mean by that, can you please explain ?

The ->set_opp pointer isn't getting used for a comparison and so
putting that inside a lock won't get us anything. We are only using
set_opp_data and sod_supplies for comparison at both the places and so
they need to be updated within the lock.
