[alsa-devel] [PATCH v4 02/11] soundwire: sdw_slave: add enumeration_complete structure

[Pierre-Louis Bossart]

When the Master starts the bus (be it during the initial boot or
system resume), it usually performs a HardReset to make sure
electrical levels are correct, then enables the control channel.

While the PM framework guarantees that the Slave devices will only
become 'active' once the Master completes the bus initialization,
there is still a risk of a race condition: the Slave enumeration is
handled in a separate interrupt thread triggered by hardware status
changes, so the Slave device may not be ready to accept commands when
the Slave driver tries to access the registers and restore settings in
its resume or pm_runtime_resume callbacks. In those cases, any
read/write commands from/to the Slave device will result in a timeout.

This patch adds an enumeration_complete structure. When the bus is
goes through a HardReset sequence and restarted, the Slave will be
marked as UNATTACHED, which will result in a call to
init_completion().

When the Slave reports its presence during PING frames as a non-zero
Device, the Master hardware will issue an interrupt and the bus driver
will invoke complete(). The order between init_completion()/complete()
is predictable since this is a Master-initiated transition.

The Slave driver may use wait_for_completion() in its resume callback.
When regmap is used, the Slave driver will typically set its regmap in
cache-only mode on suspend, then on resume block on
wait_for_completion(&enumeration_complete) to guarantee it is safe to
start read/write transactions. It may then exit the cache-only mode
and use a regmap_sync to restore settings. All these steps are
optional, their use completely depends on the Slave device
capabilities and how the Slave driver is implemented.
