Yes but we were holding the drv->lock as well as tcs->lock for the most
critical of the path anyways (writing to TCS). The added complexity
doesn't seem to help reduce the latency that it expected to reduce.

Okay. I will try that.

The tcs_in_use, is adjusted along with the DRV_STS and reading the
tcs_in_use should be enough.

Thanks for your review Stephen.
