If any invalid access is seen, > it should be fixed rather in the audio side. When I enable MST with other patches (not submitted so far), I found system may be random hang when boot up. After apply this patch and another patch (I sent the patch in ALSA Mail list: ALSA: hda - hdmi defer to register acomp eld notifier), the hang issue is fixed. I make the patch because in sound driver side, setting audio_ptr and audio_ops is not in the lock. I'm wondering that the compiler or CPU may optimize and change the setting order (the gfx code and alsa code may run parallelly?).
