The patch

   ASoC: SOF: fix race in FW boot timeout handling

has been applied to the asoc tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-5.2

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: fix race in FW boot timeout handling

A race condition exists in handling firmware boot timeout.
If FW sends FW_READY just after boot timeout has expired in
driver, a kernel exception will result as FW_READY handler
will be run while the state is still being cleaned up in
snd_sof_run_firmware(). Avoid the race by setting
boot_complete also in the error case.
