Hi Sergiu,

Indeed, purpose is to protect against a race here when reading CR, and
updating it via regmap (this also makes the subsequent pm_runtime calls
to be balanced based on this).
(Side note: there is no data buffer involved for the DAC.)
Could you please update the comment ?

Thanks,
Fabrice
