Hum, yes, but then it is odd that a parent is holding sysfs attributes
that refer to a child.

Is that lock held during tb_retimer_nvm_add() I looked for a bit and
didn't find something. So someplace more than 4 call site above
mandatory locking is being held?
static void tb_retimer_remove(struct tb_retimer *rt)
{
dev_info(&rt->dev, "retimer disconnected\n");
tb_nvm_free(rt->nvm);
device_unregister(&rt->dev);
}
Here too?
And this is why it is all trylock because it deadlocks with unregister
otherwise?
