At the moment playback_active and capture_active are using only 1 bit so the maximum active count is 1.
However, snd_soc_runtime_activate() may be called several time on the same dai. This happens when a dai is part of several dai_links. It is often the case for "snd-soc-dummy-dai".
This is a problem if snd_soc_runtime_activate() is called an even number of times on a dai. In this case the active count overflow back to 0. As consequence, ASoC functions, such as soc_dpcm_runtime_update(), won't run correctly.
Storing these usage counts on plain 'unsigned int' solves the problem.

Hi,
I found this problem while working on ASoC support for a new platform. During a playback, using DPCM, if I changed the backend dai, nothing happened, old backend path was not pruned, new backend path was not added.
Here is how it goes: 1 FE and 2 BE, all 3 using snd-soc-dummy-dai for the codec_dai (ATM).
On playback start: - BE #1 activates and increments snd-soc-dummy-dai's playback_active - FE activates and increments snd-soc-dummy-dai's playback_active
The playback works but snd-soc-dummy-dai's playback_active value is now 0.
Through a mux kcontrol, change BE client of FE, from BE #1 to BE #2. -> trigger soc_dpcm_runtime_update(). -> checks fe's codec_dai playback_active which is zero so playback path processing is skipped, keeping the old invalid path.
