Right :-)

Yeah, but why is accessing I2S_1/2 returning -EBUSY when accessing e.g.
the PCM512x_MASTER_MODE register is not?

The chip is always powered, at least externally. Are you hinting that
relevant parts of the chip may be powered down internally when
pcm512x_set_fmt() executes and that this is the -EBUSY cause? Why does
that only happen to me in that case?

[added a couple of underscores]

I get this early during boot/probe
[    1.506291] pcm512x 0-004c: pcm512x_set_fmt: failed to read I2S_1: -16
[    1.512905] pcm512x 0-004c: pcm512x_set_fmt: failed to read PLL_EN: -16
[    1.519517] pcm512x 0-004c: Failed to set data format: -16
[    1.525045] pcm512x 0-004c: Failed to set data offset: -16

and then this later, triggered from userspace when an app opens
the device
[   14.620344] pcm512x 0-004c: pcm512x_hw_params: I2S_1: 0x2

So, reading *can* work.

Cheers,
