May be we could make the enumerated devices discovery bit more verbose!
Maybe adding a device number sysfs entry would help, e.g. reporting NotAttched or a value in [0,11] would tell you if the device is actually present.
Agreed, I cooked this patch to report verbose device status, let me know if you are okay with this. I think this would be useful regardless of current discussion.
On Db845c I see:
root@linaro-alip:/sys/bus/soundwire/devices# cat sdw:0:217:2010:0:1/status Attached root@linaro-alip:/sys/bus/soundwire/devices# cat sdw:0:217:2010:0:2/status Attached
looks like we are all aligned on the idea, I have a similar patch to at https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/2426
The difference is that the sysfs status and device_number is added even without a driver probe and when there's no firmware description. sysfs is currently only added after the driver probe, which wouldn't work for the case Srinivas was trying to deal with.
but the way you dealt the status below is better than the switch case I used, so will merge this into my code.
Srinivas' patch needs a fix for ACPI platforms, won't probe otherwise since we don't have an of_node. If that's alright with everyone I can submit a patchset that gathers the 3 contributions.
