According to sound/soc/samsung/pcm.c, the kernel module may sleep under 
a spinlock.
The function call path is:
s3c_pcm_hw_params (acquire the spinlock)
   clk_get_rate
     clk_core_get_rate
       clk_prepare_lock
         mutex_lock --> may sleep

I do not find a good way to fix it, so I only report.
This possible bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and my code 
review.


Thanks,
Jia-Ju Bai
