I am not sure I understood the problem well. Can you explain clearly
why the current locking doesn't work with details call chain ?

It is normally okay to have per-policy locks otherwise. Are there any
common resources being used between policies that need locking ?

Don't do so much in a single commit. Separate commits for each logical
change so they can be reviewed well. Also don't send cpufreq along
with devfreq changes, unless they are dependent on each other.
