Only theoretical ;) Since all other drivers always lock around drm_helper_resume_force_mode I guessed this is good practice. And since problem area is quite similar to the one mentioned in #927a2f119 / 234f78a683e http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux- stable.git;a=commit;h=234f78a683e30d6d4628846fde4a822c0e385529 the bug might happen in the wild.
