skylake_audio_probe() is never called in atomic context. This function is only set as ".probe" in "struct platform_driver".
Despite never getting called from atomic context, skylake_audio_probe() calls devm_kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which waits busily for allocation. GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL, to avoid busy waiting and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.
This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
