when audio playback is running, user space will call snd_pcm_lib_write1() function, it will first get pcm stream lock, after that it may call function snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr(), the call stack will be as below: snd_pcm_lib_write1 <-- got pcm stream lock --> snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr --> dwc_tx_status --> dwc_scan_descriptors --> callback --> dmaengine_pcm_dma_complete --> snd_pcm_period_elapsed <-- get stream lock again recursion lock occurs in snd_pcm_period_elapsed function. remove dwc_scan_descriptors from dwc_tx_status can fix this issue.
