am65_cpts_fifo_read() acquires and releases this same lock. If moving
to a lockless schema is too complex, you should at least try to acquire
the lock only once. e.g. factor out a lockless  __am65_cpts_fifo_read
variant and explicitly acquire the lock before invoke it.

Jakub suggested to use list_move() in v4, you should apply that here,
too.
