Sorry, that was actually a statement, not really a question. It is
possible (although very unlikely) that userspace posts play request and
workqueue will not run until after suspend callback.

Thinking about it some more I wonder if we better do what
twl6040_vibra_close() does and cancel the work before shutting off the
device, so that there is no chance of work executing after suspend
callback and reenabling the device. This way we can indeed remove the
mutex.

Thanks.
