Ah sorry about that, I did try to fix style issues in code but looks like
few were missed. I will fix them in the patch series.

Thanks for pointing, yes this should be done.

For reply case, I am not sure. I think if thats true would make sense to
complain loudly..

Overrun is FW detectiong its pipelines are overunning the buffer, no the
ALSA ring buffer though. _PHRASE_DETECTED is for keyword detection which can
run on dsp
