loopback_parse_timer_id() uses snd_card_ref(), that can lock on mutex, also snd_timer_instance_new() uses non-atomic allocation, that can sleep. So, both functions can not be called from loopback_snd_timer_open() with cable->lock spinlock locked. Moreover, most part of loopback_snd_timer_open() function body works when the opposite stream of the same cable does not yet exist, and the current stream is not yet completely open and can't be running, so existing locking of loopback->cable_lock mutex is enough to protect from conflicts with simultaneous opening or closing. Locking of cable->lock spinlock is not needed in this case.
