Merge series from Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com>: By mistake a developer managed to create a 'corrupted' IPC4 firmware image which loaded fine to the DSP and after boot it sent an IPC reply before we would have received the FW_READY message. It turned out that the image was an IPC3 firmware and the IPC reply was the IPC3 FW_READY notification message which got understood as an IPC4 reply message due to the difference between the two IPC mechanism. This caused a NULL pointer dereference since the reply memory will be allocated after the FW_READY message. To make sure this will not bite again, skip any spurious reply messages before the FW_READY.
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
