+SoundWire Locking
+=================
+
+This document explains locking mechanism of the SoundWire Bus. Bus uses
+following locks in order to avoid race conditions in Bus operations on
+shared resources.
+
+  - Bus lock
+
+  - Message lock
+
+Bus lock
+========
+
+SoundWire Bus lock is a mutex and is part of Bus data structure
+(sdw_bus) which is used for every Bus instance. This lock is used to
+serialize each of the following operations(s) within SoundWire Bus instance.
+
+  - Addition and removal of Slave(s), changing Slave status.
+
+  - Prepare, Enable, Disable and De-prepare stream operations.
+
+  - Access of Stream data structure.
+
+Message lock
+============
+
+SoundWire message transfer lock. This mutex is part of
+Bus data structure (sdw_bus). This lock is used to serialize the message
+transfers (read/write) within a SoundWire Bus instance.
+
+Below examples show how locks are acquired.
+
+Example 1
+---------
+
+Message transfer.
+
+  1. For every message transfer
+
+     a. Acquire Message lock.
+
+     b. Transfer message (Read/Write) to Slave1 or broadcast message on
+        Bus in case of bank switch.
+
+     c. Release Message lock

+
+Example 2
+---------
+
+Prepare operation.
+
+  1. Acquire lock for Bus instance associated with Master 1.
+
+  2. For every message transfer in Prepare operation
+
+     a. Acquire Message lock.
+
+     b. Transfer message (Read/Write) to Slave1 or broadcast message on
+        Bus in case of bank switch.
+
+     c. Release Message lock.
+
+  3. Release lock for Bus instance associated with Master 1 ::
