I overlooked it. Thanks for your indication.

Yep. I request the authors to include this fix.
Well, in sound subsystem, there're a few drivers which uses hrtimer:
- snd-pcsp
- snd-sh-dac-audio
- snd-soc-imx-pcm-fiq
As a quick glance, 'snd-sh-dac-audio' includes the same bug, too.
Additionally, 'snd-soc-imx-pcm-fiq' maintains hrtimer with loose manner
in a point of state of PCM substream and it shall gain the same bug if
improved. Later, I posted some patches for them.
Thanks
