How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

Subject:
[PATCH v2] ALSA: hda/hdmi: Unlock a mutex always before returning from check_non_pcm_per_cvt()

Change description (according to a solution alternative):
The exception handling was incomplete in an if branch for
a null pointer check of the variable âspdifâ.
Thus assign an appropriate value to the local variable ânon_pcmâ
by using a conditional operator instead.
A mutex is also appropriately unlocked then.

- if (WARN_ON(spdif == NULL))
- return true;
- non_pcm = !!(spdif->status & IEC958_AES0_NONAUDIO);
+ non_pcm = WARN_ON(!spdif)
+ ? true
+ : !!(spdif->status & IEC958_AES0_NONAUDIO);
mutex_unlock(&codec->spdif_mutex);
return non_pcm;
}


Would you like to add the tag âFixesâ to the change description?
