Did you mean "with this patch included", yes?

This patch doesn't change any of the flow, it just adds a wrapper in
preparation for the transition to the FE pcm lock.

The only change is that we use spin_lock_irq instead of the
irqsave/restore version, but that was also Takashi's recommendation.

the test results would suggest that on Tegra DPCM functions are used
from an interrupt context?
