With my minor changes:

How about using a mutex lock in port_bridge_{join,leave} ?
In my opinion all functions that access multiple registers should be
synchronized.

That's one way, in some cases the framework (DSA) serialize
the accesses so I don't know if that already happens on a
higher level? Since it is accessed over a slow bus we should go
for mutex in that case indeed.
