Example 5: Stereo Stream with L and R channel is rendered by 2 Masters, each
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.
