Looks like the after match of the flag change again ...

Marek, is it possible that you have CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled in your
configuration ?

snd_soc_find_dai() is called by snd_soc_dai_link_set_capabilities().
Indeed, the client_mutex will not be help by any of the user of 
snd_soc_dai_link_set_capabilities() when called.

So I believe simple card and qcom will be impacted as well.

That's the probe defferal mechanism causing the repeat

... but any aml platform with uni-directional backend (not the N2, lucky
you) would be broken.

If you have CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled, try disabling see how it goes and
report. It is not a fix but at least you'll be unblocked.
