Hi SOF folks,
I've been able to address the issue I was seeing with 5.2.9 kernel and the SOF driver on our whiskeylake based system but would really appreciate a quick review from the experts to confirm that I've not missed anything important or add any extra insight.
The problem was seen on boot - the driver suspends and resumes a couple of times during boot and during the second resume failed to load the firmware (err -110). After that point the driver, and hence the audio, isn't useable.
I backported these commits to address the problem: https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/commit/bf705eaa7ce07f9c132f8e367fc2fc... https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/commit/64632de9140e52b72781fefe542314... https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/commit/7623ae793c28cc0928c5d1292542db... https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/commit/f5dbba9fee801f4678a50d92c785f7... https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/commit/bb1ea3b31c28a131a5f5a50dd32519...
We're still doing some testing to get confidence the fix is correct and stable but so far it looks good - everything is working.
Thanks Mark
