I quickly tested this set on top of linux-next next-20210706 and didn't 
see any issue with intel-qep.c. However I noticed two mutex issues in 
patch 15/17. Perhaps visible due the CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y etc. I have on.

I'll be out of office next few weeks so cannot test if you have a new 
version meanwhile but wanted to share no show stopper from intel-qep.c 
and those two mutex warnings.
