Hi Mauro,

Please pull this revert in as soon as possible. Without
the revert, auido, video, and digital applications won't
start even. There is a bug in the common routine introduced
in the commit 9822f4173f84cb7c592edb5e1478b7903f69d018 which
causes the link between source and sink to be not found.
I am testing on WIn-TV HVR 950Q

Here is my test sequence I use to verify the mutual exclusion
works between audio, video, and dvb applications.

Generate media graph graph - verify graph looks good.

Basic testing:
Test case 1:
Step 1: Start arecord and generate graph to verify the right
source is enabled
Step 2: Exit arecord and generate graph and verify resource is released.

Test case 2:
Step 1: Start kaffeine and generate graph to verify the right
source is enabled
Step 2: Exit kaffeine - generate graph and verify resource is released.

Test case 3:
Step 1: Start xawtv and generate graph to verify the right
source is enabled
Step 2: Exit xawtv - generate graph and verify resource is released.

Mutual exclusion testing:
Test case 1:
Step 1: Start arecord and generate graph to verify the right
source is enabled
Step 2: Start kaffeine - should see it fail to EBUSY
Step 3: Start xawtv - should see it fail with EBUSY
Step 4: Exit arecord - generate graph and verify resource is released.

Test Case 2:
Step 1: Start kaffeine and generate graph to verify the right
source is enabled
Step 2: Start arecord - it should fail - unable to set hwparams - device busy error
Step 3: Start xawtv - should see it fail with EBUSY
Step 4: Exit kaffeine - generate graph and verify resource is released.

Test Case 3:
Step 1: Start xawtv and generate graph to verify the right
source is enabled
Step 2: Start arecord - it should fail - device busy error
Step 3: Start kaffeine should see it fail with EBUSY
Step 4: Exit xawtv - generate graph and verify resource is released.

At each step make dmesg looks good. I build my kernel with kasan
enabled - to detect out of bounds access etc. good stuff.

thanks,
