Ack.

Yes. There is no putting MAIN_CORE to D0 as we must be in D0 to begin 
with, if we're thinking about sending an IPC to the base firmware.

Sure, will improve the wording.

Well, CG and PG are popular shortcuts among Intel audio team and stand 
for clock gating and power gating respectively. 'wake' is firmware 
specific. I can provide a comment, but not all question are going to be 
answered by it. Firmware specification is the place to find the answer 
for most of these.

Some of the fields are confusing and I agree, but driver has to adhere 
to FW expectations if it wants to be a working one. I would like to 
avoid judging the firmware architecture here, regardless of how 
confusing we think it is.

'wake' and 'streaming' fields are part of SET_D0ix message is which part 
of MODULE-type message interface. Base firmware is, from architecture 
point of view, a module of type=0 (module_id) and instance id=0 
(instance_id).

Can provide a short kernel-doc for these two, sure.
