If the machine driver has been un/reloaded, the register values of the codec driver have to be reinitialized in order to run properly.
Hrm. This isn't something that I'd expect to be required - I'd expect that as part of the machine driver teardown to put the hardware into a reasonable default state so that things come back as normal. Can you be a bit more specific about the problem that you are seeing? We probably shouldn't need the existing reset that's in the ASoC level probe either.
The symptom is, that if I rmmod the machine driver and then modprobe it again. The codec does not play audio at all. I can call aplay without any problems, but there is no output. My guess was that I have to rewrite the default values after a reset. May be regmap_reinit_cache() is the better choice to reinit the register values? Not sure about that.
I do think a version of this is useful regardless of the above...
tas5086_reset(priv);
- regcache_mark_dirty(priv->regmap);
Since the device has hardware reset support we really ought to be able to do the register cache resync only if the reset GPIO is missing. How about putting your code into the reset function and doing it in the case where the reset GPIO is missing? That way anything that thinks it's resetting the device will get the benefit of your code.
I thing this would not fix the issue. I do have a hardware reset. In that case my code would not be called at all and I would face the same issue (no audio output) again.
