This allows PCM core automatically performing
:c:func:`synchronize_irq()` at the necessary timing like ``hw_free``.

sync_stop callback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
static int snd_xxx_sync_stop(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream);
This callback is optional, and NULL can be passed. It's called after
the PCM core stops the stream and changes the stream state
``prepare``, ``hw_params`` or ``hw_free``.
Since the IRQ handler might be still pending, we need to wait until
the pending task finishes before moving to the next step; otherwise it
might lead to a crash due to resource conflicts or access to the freed
resources. A typical behavior is to call a synchronization function
like :c:func:`synchronize_irq()` here.
For majority of drivers that need only a call of
:c:func:`synchronize_irq()`, there is a simpler setup, too.
While keeping NULL to ``sync_stop`` PCM callback, the driver can set
``card->sync_irq`` field to store the valid interrupt number after
requesting an IRQ, instead. Then PCM core will look call
:c:func:`synchronize_irq()` with the given IRQ appropriately.
If the IRQ handler is released at the card destructor, you don't need
to clear ``card->sync_irq``, as the card itself is being released.
So, usually you'll need to add just a single line for assigning
``card->sync_irq`` in the driver code unless the driver re-acquires
the IRQ. When the driver frees and re-acquires the IRQ dynamically
(e.g. for suspend/resume), it needs to clear and re-set
``card->sync_irq`` again appropriately.
