Mark, I've seen that comment from you several times, and I wonder if I
am missing something: the triggers for SoundWire managers and dailinks
are typically nonatomic - at least for the Cadence-based solution the
trigger is based on a bank switch that may happen with a delay and with
a wait_for_completion(). Sending a command over the SoundWire channel is
also typically not atomic, there's usually a wait_for_completion() as well.
