Looking through I think this is an unrelated issue. Assuming the
driver in question is (sound/soc/samsung/i2s.c). Inside
i2s_trigger, there is a call to config_setup(i2s), which in turn
will call clk_get_rate if i2s->quirks contains the flag
QUIRK_NO_MUXPSR.

The trigger callback can be made from an atomic context and
clk_get_rate will take the prepare lock of the clock. The clock
prepare lock is always a mutex which shouldn't be locked from an
atomic context. So it seems like this will fail whenever that
QUIRK_NO_MUXPSR flag is set, no idea what causes that to be set.

It looks like this bug was introduced by this change:

647d04f8e07a ("ASoC: samsung: i2s: Ensure the RCLK rate is properly determined")

Thanks,
Charles
