Well it is very unlikely that something like this could ever happen since the 
tpa6130a2_channel_enable and the tpa6130a2_power is called when DAPM is 
enabling/disabling the path. I think in a middle of enable or disable there 
should not be any opposite operation running in DAPM...

But better to be safe: I can add the mutex_lock, unlock pair.

I'll wait for more comments and address this one as well.
