Merge series from Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com>: ACE3 (Panther Lake) introduced support for microphone privacy feature which can - in hardware - mute incoming audio data based on a state of a physical switch. The change in the privacy state is delivered through interface IP blocks and can only be handled by the link owner. In Intel platforms Soundwire is for example host owned, so the interrupt can only be handled by the host. Since the input stream is going to be muted by hardware, the host needs to send a message to firmware about the change in privacy so it can execute a fade out/in to enhance user experience. The support for microphone privacy can be queried from the HW_CONFIG data under the INTEL_MIC_PRIVACY_CAP tuple. This is Intel specific data, the core will pass it to platform code if the intel_configure_mic_privacy() callback is provided. Platform code can call sof_ipc4_mic_privacy_state_change() to send the IPC message to the firmware on state change.
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 reStructuredText 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.
