Hi Jacopo,
That is correct. However the awb routine will call resume and get here
(before accessing the hardware) :
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/media/platform/atmel/atmel-isc-base.c#L1722
So I think that we are good as we are now

I prefer to have the critical section as little as possible. As we are
only synchronizing the 'streaming status' , only this should be under
the lock.
If you have a different opinion, let me know.
