Summary:                    error messages: boot process, application start
Description: 
Everytime I boot my machine I get the following error code:

PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:1f.5 (0005 -> 0007)
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.5 to 64
ALSA sound/pci/intel8x0.c:596: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready
[0x1][0x700300]
ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1868: MC'97 1 converters and GPIO not
ready (0xff00)
ALSA sound/pci/intel8x0.c:596: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready
[0x1][0x700300]
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49475 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 48000



And the following one after starting frozen-bubble:

ALSA sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_init.c:213: no device found
ALSA sound/pci/intel8x0.c:596: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready
[0x1][0x700300]
ALSA sound/pci/intel8x0.c:611: codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for
register 0x2c


That's the only thing. Sound works fine - it's only the message I'm
concernd about...

Still have the same problems with kernel 2.6.10 when I load snd_intel8x0
and snd_intel8x0m. For me that message doesn't brake anything, but it's
still not so pleasure to see warnings in syslog.

codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x701300]
codec_write 1: semaphore is not ready for register 0x54


Moreower, David Gómez <dabisu@gmail.com> reported that such messages
brakes sound working:

It's broken, at least in 2.6.10. In my case, if i loaded the modem
driver, the sound one stopped working (with a lot of semaphore
errors...) My solution is not using the modem driver by now :(. I
think that Takashi said that there was a problem in common
initialization in both drivers, so i hope it gets fixed soon ;)

So, hope this problem will be fixed somehow ;)

At the moment I'm using a Debian 2.6.14 kernel and Alsa 1.0.9b -  and the
messages are gone.
