That means we won't crash during list traversal but does nothing to ensure we won't crash immediately afterwards if the port is deallocated just after we look it up. What stops that happening?
Each port is allocated and de-allocated in dai probe and remove calls respectively.
Lets say... So for this case to happen the dai has to be removed (unload module) at the same time when the interrupt callback happens due to delayed response from previous commands.
This case would be almost impossible because all the calls to afe service are synchronous with timeouts, if any of the previous calls times out the respective caller would get an error, this should prevent him from unloading the module in the first place.
thanks, srini
