I am not following. The bank switch happens with this function, where a
mutex is taken.
int sdw_transfer(struct sdw_bus *bus, struct sdw_msg *msg)
{
int ret;
mutex_lock(&bus->msg_lock);
ret = sdw_transfer_unlocked(bus, msg);
mutex_unlock(&bus->msg_lock);
return ret;
}
The transfer_unlocked is synchronous and waits for the command response
to be available.
In other words, there's both a mutual exclusion and a synchronous
behavior, so not sure how commands *before* the bank switch could be
pending?
