Merge series from Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com>: This patchset improves the pm_runtime behavior in rare corner cases identified by the Intel CI in the last 6 months. a) in stress-tests, it's not uncommon to see the following type of warnings when the codec reports as ATTACHED "rt711 sdw:0:025d:0711:00: runtime PM trying to activate child device sdw:0:025d:0711:00 but parent (sdw-master-0) is not active" This warning was not correlated with any functional issue, but it exposed a design issue on when to enable pm_runtime. The recommended practice in the pm_runtime documentation is to keep the devices in 'suspended' mode and mark them as 'active' when they are really functional. b) enabling pm_runtime when the codec reports as ATTACHED also creates a problematic case when the ASoC pm_runtime_get_sync() will silently fail due to the -EACCESS error handling. This can happen when playback starts before the codec is enumerated. This patchset modifies the initial stages so that codecs are pm_runtime enabled in the .probe() callback, but become pm_runtime 'active' only when they report present. This is better aligned with the design of the pm_runtime helpers and improved CI results significantly. This patchset modifies all existing SoundWire codecs (except Qualcomm ones), but the pattern of changes is exactly the same in all patches.
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.
