I am not following. The bank switch happens with this function, where a
mutex is taken.

int sdw_transfer(struct sdw_bus *bus, struct sdw_msg *msg)
{
	int ret;

	mutex_lock(&bus->msg_lock);

	ret = sdw_transfer_unlocked(bus, msg);

	mutex_unlock(&bus->msg_lock);

	return ret;
}

The transfer_unlocked is synchronous and waits for the command response
to be available.

In other words, there's both a mutual exclusion and a synchronous
behavior, so not sure how commands *before* the bank switch could be
pending?
