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 “spdif”.
   Thus assign an appropriate value to the local variable “non_pcm”
   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 “Fixes” to the change description?
