The riptide driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is: snd_riptide_prepare (acquire the spinlock) setsampleformat sendcmd riptide_reset try_to_load_firmware request_firmware _request_firmware (drivers/base/firmware_class.c) _request_firmware_prepare kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC in _request_firmware_prepare. This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.

This doesn't happen. try_to_load_firmware() aborts before the request_firmware() call when chip == NULL, which is the case from sendcmd().
