<content type='text'>
This patch invokes the DSP power down notifier to inform
DSP that driver is going to be removed.
The module removal entails DSP power down, disabling of
IRQs and more. Therefore it is highly recommended to inform
the DSP about this upcoming event.

Due to hardware limitations on some Intel platforms it is necessary
to power gate all LPSRAM banks that were enabled prior to controller
reset. Otherwise, an attempt to write LPSRAM control registers may
have no effect.

<title>ASoC: SOF: Move DSP power state transitions to platform-specific ops</title>

<id>61e285caf40fef18e8bd7cea5237ee6723609a1c</id>
<content type='text'>
The DSP device substates such as D0I0/D0I3
are platform-specific. Therefore, the d0_substate
field of struct snd_sof_dev is replaced
with the dsp_power_state field which represents the current
state of the DSP. This field holds both the device state
and the platform-specific substate values.

With the DSP device substates being platform-specific,
the DSP power state transitions need to be performed in
the platform-specific suspend/resume ops as well.

In order to achieve this, the ops signature has to be
modified to pass the target device state as an
argument. The target substate will be determined by
the platform-specific ops before performing the transition.
For example, in the case of the system suspending to S0IX,
the top-level SOF device suspend callback needs to
only determine if the DSP will be entering
D3 or remain in D0. The target substate in case the device
needs to remain in D0 (D0I0 or D0I3) will be determined
by the platform-specific suspend op.

With the addition of the extended set of power states for the DSP,
the set_power_state op for HDA platforms has to be extended
to handle only the appropriate state transitions. So, the
implementation for the Intel HDA platforms is also modified.

<title>ASoC: SOF: core: release resources on errors in probe_continue</title>

<id>410e5e55c9c1c9c0d452ac5b9adb37b933a7747e</id>
<content type='text'>
The initial intent of releasing resources in the .remove does not work
well with HDaudio codecs. If the probe_continue() fails in a work
queue, e.g. due to missing firmware or authentication issues, we don't
release any resources, and as a result the kernel oopses during
suspend operations.

The suggested fix is to release all resources during errors in
probe_continue(), and use fw_state to track resource allocation
state, so that .remove does not attempt to release the same
hardware resources twice. PM operations are also modified so that
no action is done if DSP resources have been freed due to
an error at probe.

<content type='text'>
Add a state machine for FW boot to track the
different stages of FW boot and replace the boot_complete
field with fw_state field in struct snd_sof_dev.
This will be used to determine the actions to be performed
during system suspend.

One of the main motivations for adding this change is the
fact that errors during the top-level SOF device probe cannot
be propagated and therefore suspending the SOF device normally
during system suspend could potentially run into errors.
For example, with the current flow, if the FW boot failed
for some reason and the system suspends, the SOF device
suspend could fail because the CTX_SAVE IPC would be attempted
even though the FW never really booted successfully causing it
to time out. Another scenario that the state machine fixes
is when the runtime suspend for the SOF device fails and
the DSP is powered down nevertheless, the CTX_SAVE IPC during
system suspend would timeout because the DSP is already
powered down.

Currently, SOF probes machine drivers by creating a platform device
and passing the machine description as private data.

This is driven by the ACPI restrictions. Ideally, ACPI tables
should contain the description for the machine driver. This is
not possible because ACPI tables are frozen and used on multiple
OS-es (e.g Windows).

In the case of Device Tree we don't have this restriction, so we
choose to probe the machine drivers by creating a DT node as is
the standard ALSA way.

This patch makes the probing of machine drivers from SOF
core optional allowing for Device Tree platforms to decouple
the SOF core from machine driver probing.

Along with this, it also consolidates the machine driver selection
for Intel platforms by defining optional ops for selecting the machine
driver based on the ACPI match for HDA and non-HDA platforms and
setting the mach params.
