Hi Sameer > Sure. BTW, there are more such candidates which require 'lock' version > of these helpers. > For example: soc_find_component(), snd_soc_add/remove_pcm_runtime() > and snd_soc_register_dai(). soc_find_component() is static function, no need to care about mutex. other functions are indeed exported function, but is used from topology.c which is calling it under mutex. Thank you for your help !! Best regards --- Kuninori Morimoto
