[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/3] ASoC: core: Add card mutex locking subclasses

[Liam Girdwood]

This is the first part of a change that is intended to improve
ASoC locking protection for DAPM and PCM operations.

This part of the series adds a mutex class for the soc_card mutex. The
SND_SOC_CARD_CLASS_INIT class is used for card initialisation only whilst the
SND_SOC_CARD_CLASS_PCM class is used for the forth coming Dynamic
PCM operations. The new mutex classes are required otherwise we will see a false
positive mutex deadlock warning between the card initialisation and the PCM
operations (something that would never deadlock in real life).
