The variable codec->regmap is often protected by the lock codec->regmap_lock when is accessed. However, it is accessed without holding the lock when is accessed in snd_hdac_regmap_sync():

In my opinion, this may be a harmful race, because if codec->regmap is set to NULL right after the condition is checked, a null-pointer dereference can occur in the called function regcache_sync():
map->lock(map->lock_arg); --> Line 360 in
drivers/base/regmap/regcache.c
To fix this possible null-pointer dereference caused by data race, the mutex_lock coverage is extended to protect the if statement as well as
the
function call to regcache_sync().

Practically seen, it's pretty harmless, as the flag is set at the very beginning of the codec driver probe, while snd_hdac_regmap_sync() is used only in the runtime PM resume that must not happen during the probe. IOW, codec->regmap_lock itself isn't really meant to protectthe change of codec->regmap flag.
OTOH, your change makes things more consistent, so I applied the patch now.
Thanks!
