Unbalanced calls to imx_ssi_trigger() may result in endless SSI activity and thus provoke eternal sound. While on the first glance, the switch statement looks pretty symmetric, the SUSPEND/RESUME pair is not: the suspend case comes along snd_pcm_suspend_all(), which for fsl/imx-pcm-fiq is called only at snd_soc_suspend(), but the resume case originates straight from the SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_RESUME. This way userland may provoke an unbalanced resume, which might cause the ssi->enabled counter to increase and never return to zero again, so eventually SSI_SCR_SSIEN is never disabled.

Simply removing the ssi->enabled will solve the problem, as long as one never goes play and capture game simultaneously, but beware trying both at once, the early TRIGGER_STOP will cut off the other activity prematurely. So now playing and capturing is scrutinized separately, instead of by counting.

This is essentially the same stuff as in sound/soc/fsl/imx-pcm-fiq.c which I send a patch for three days ago. Astonishing enough this highly fragile scheme is used twice in parallel to serve the very same control function, synchronously: Once out of sync you are lost until reboot.

Note, that these fixes wont prevent state machine distortion on alsa level to cut sound or the like. It just makes sure we have a chance to synchronise again later on.
