We have further tried few experiments in ACP PDM driver and
ACP SoundWire DMA driver. Instead of sending mutex lock as platform
data, we have directly referencing the mutex in child platform driver.
After making these changes, we are no longer observing mutex hang
issues. The reason for mutex hang issue is, from ACP PCI driver we are
sending mutex address directly as platform data, which results in incorrect
reference to the common lock.
We have already posted ACP PDM driver fix for upstream review.

We will implement similar changes for ACP SoundWire DMA driver as well.
