I do not see #3063 issue on my side. No initialization failure or time-out has occurred.

Now I'm trying to solve the issue with max98373_io_init() function as suggested instead of adding
regmap_cache_dirty() in the suspend function.
max98373_io_init() was not called from max98373_update_status() when audio resume because
max98373->hw_init was 1 and Status was SDW_SLAVE_ATTACHED.
max98373_update_status() do not get SDW_SLAVE_UNATTACHED.
I confirmed that the issue could be resolved if SDW_SLAVE_UNATTACHED event arrives at
max98373_update_status() before SDW_SLAVE_ATTACHED is triggered.
Actually sdw_handle_slave_status() get SDW_SLAVE_UNATTACHED but this function exits at
https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/blob/topic/sof-dev/drivers/soundwire/bus.c#L1765
before reaching to https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/blob/topic/sof-dev/drivers/soundwire/bus.c#L1825
I'm not sure how to solve this issue because this code is commonly used for other Soundwire drivers as well.

I share the debug messages for the resume event as your reference.
