+rendering one channel, and is received by two different Slaves, each
+receiving one channel. Both Masters and both Slaves are using single port. ::

+Note: In multi-link cases like above, to lock, one would acquire a global
+lock and then go on locking bus instances. But, in this case the caller
+framework(ASoC DPCM) guarantees that stream operations on a card are
+always serialized. So, there is no race condition and hence no need for
+global lock.
