What exactly do you need this lock for ?

It is needed for protecting simultaneous invocations of
dev_pm_opp_sync_regulators() and dev_pm_opp_set_voltage().

The sync_regulators() should be invoked only after completion of the
set_voltage() in a case of Tegra power domain driver since potentially
both could be running in parallel. For example device driver may be
changing performance state in a work thread, while PM domain state is
syncing.

But maybe it will be better to move the protection to the PM driver
since we're focused on sync_regulators() and set_voltage() here, but
there are other OPP API functions which use regulators. I'll need to
take a closer look at it.
