The patch
ASoC: Use nested lock for snd_soc_dapm_mutex_lock
has been applied to the asoc tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.
Thanks, Mark

snd_soc_dapm_mutex_lock currently uses the un-nested call which can cause lockdep warnings when called from control handlers (a relatively common usage) and using modules. As creating the control causes a potential mutex inversion with the handler, creating the control will take the controls_rwsem under the dapm_mutex and accessing the control will take the dapm_mutex under controls_rwsem.
All the users look like they want to be using the runtime class of the lock anyway, so this patch just changes snd_soc_dapm_mutex_lock to use the nested call, with the SND_SOC_DAPM_CLASS_RUNTIME class.
