Yeah, I was hoping there was some locking in the ASoC levels, but its going
to be locking based on the runtime PCM stream, so that wouldn't prevent
q6adm_close() running concurrently. (as MM1/2 are different RTDs)

OK, that sounds good to me. Thanks for helping out with this part of my
series. Definitely think its a good idea to have an explicit mutex that is
managing the Q6ADM open/close ops.
