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?).

Regards,
Libin
