[alsa-devel] [PATCH 4/5] ASoC: SOF: ignore unrecoverable CTX_SAVE IPC errors at suspend

[Pierre-Louis Bossart]

From: Kai Vehmanen <kai.vehmanen at linux.intel.com>

As part of the suspend flow, a context save IPC message is
sent to the firmware before powering down the DSP. If errors
are met, the suspend flow is aborted with current code.

Change the behaviour such that if firmware returns -EBUSY or
-EAGAIN, return the error codes to PM core as before. The device
is left in active state in this case.

If other errors are reported, print a warning but do not block the
suspend flow. As per interface specification, no valid error can be
returned in this scenario. If the hardware has hit a fatal error and
is not able to respond successfully, best recovery method is to
proceed with suspend and power off the DSP.
