From: Arjan van de Ven The ops structure has complex locking rules, where not all ops are equal, some are subordinate on others for some complex sound cards. This requires for lockdep checking that each individual reg_mutex is considered in separation for its locking rules. Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.
