Hi all, here's a patch series to address an issue that popped up after SOF changed from hdac-hdmi to snd-hda-codec-hdmi:
"failed to get afg sub nodes on ChromeOS devices" https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/1642
This is fairly hard to hit and only occurs on some devices (most current reports are Gemini Lake based Chromebooks), but when it does, it is rather severe as the whole SOF probe fails because of this, and user is left without sound.
First fix is to optimize out one power down/up cycle from the probe process. On platforms such as GLK, each time audio driver does acomp's get_power(), graphics typically needs to do a modeset due to clocking requirements for the HDA bus. This can cause display to flash when audio is probed, plus in the reported cases on GLK, can lead to probe failures.
The above change doesn't cover all reported cases, so additionally retry logic is added to snd_hda_get_sub_nodes() calls on Intel platforms. Multiple other approaches were investigated, but a simple retry -- although less than ideal -- in the end proved to be most reliable solution. HDA dump on one affected Acer Chromebook looks like this:
