That's an interesting finding, and yes, such a race is quite
possible. Below is a quick fix as an attempt to cover it.
Could you give it a try?

BTW, the fix for the unbind problem was submitted. It's a slightly
more simplified version than what I posted here beforehand.


thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: realtek: Fix race at concurrent COEF updates

The COEF access is done with two steps: setting the index then read or
write the data. When multiple COEF accesses are performed
concurrently, the index and data might be paired unexpectedly.
In most cases, this isn't a big problem as the COEF setup is done at
the initialization, but some dynamic changes like the mute LED may hit
such a race.

For avoiding the racy COEF accesses, this patch introduces a new
mutex coef_mutex to alc_spec, and wrap the COEF accessing functions
with it.
