Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

There's at least one other location where ctrl->handle is reset to NULL.

Is this protected by ctrl_mutex ?

Please be careful about locking and race conditions, taking the time to
double check will help getting your patches merged faster.

unsigned int

I wonder if these days you could event write

		for (unsigned int i = 0; i < entity->ncontrols; ++i) {

Given that handle can't be null, you can write

			if (ctrl->handle != handle)

Is this needed ? If we find more controls for this handle than
pending_async_ctrls, decrementing it below 0 will case the WARN_ON() at
the end of this function to trigger, isn't that enough ?

The kernel does it the other way around, it lists in the documentation
of the lock what data it protects.
