Add a way to let the drivers know if the processes are frozen.

This is needed by drivers that are waiting for processes to end on their shutdown path.

Convert pm_freezing into a function and export it, so it can be used by drivers that are either built-in or modules.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 83bfc7e793b5 ("ASoC: SOF: core: unregister clients and machine drivers in .shutdown") Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda ribalda@chromium.org

Why can't you export the original pm_freezing variable and why is this fixing anything?

Because then any module will be able to modify the content of the variable.

The Fixes: is because the last patch on the set is doing a real fix. If you only cherry-pick the last patch on a stable branch, the build will fail. (Also, the zero-day builder complains)

Anyway, I think we can hold this patch for a bit. The snd people are discussing if this the way to handle it, or if we should handle .shutdown in a different way.

Thanks!
