[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: core: Fix deadlock in snd_soc_instantiate_card()

[Ranjani Sridharan]

Move the client_mutex lock to snd_soc_unbind_card() before
removing link components. This prevents the deadlock
in the error path in snd_soc_instantiate_card().

Fixes: 34ac3c3eb8 (ASoC: core: lock client_mutex while removing
link components)
