[alsa-devel] Question about WM8904 regcache

[Bo Shen]

Hi Mark,
   I am sorry to disturb you. On our EK board, it use wm8904 codec. When 
I enable the audio, and use alsa utils aplay to test, I meet the 
following issue.
   The audio can not playback, it show the following error.
---8>---
#aplay 44.1k_16bit_stereo.wav
Playing WAVE '44.1k_16bit_stereo.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, 
Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: pcm_write:1737: write error: Input/output error

   After check the register, they are not be configured correctly. When 
read from debug file system, found the cache_dirty always Y before 
playback and also failed playback.
   I try to add the following two line in wm8904_set_bias_level into 
"case SND_SOC_BIAS_ON", it doesn't work.

   However, If I comment the regcache_cache_only(wm8904->regmap, true) 
as following, then it play OK.

   So, any clue for this issue?

   Thanks.
