It's rather random, we've only seen the error in long daily tests.

There may be a confusion here.

The SoundWire spec says the device will show up as Device #0. That means
the status[0] = ATTACHED.

The driver reads the devID registers and programs the device number N.
The device will then report as device #N in PING frames. The controller
hardware will detect that device and call the function to update the
status a second time.

I don't really see anything in this sequence that differs from my
explanations?

The update_status() is only called when the device has a non-zero device
number.

There may be a real problem with update_status() not being called but I
just don't see it so far.

One way to improve the traces would be to use dev_dbg, that way we'd
have a trace of which device is being handled. There are two devices
managed by the same driver, a trace with pr_dbg doesn't tell us much.
