Thanks for the suggestion. Our plan is to upstream this patch first.
And then we will merge it into the kernel after the firmware is
updated. Is it feasible? (I'm not sure whether there is the better way
if I want to update EC and the kernel at the same time.)

I think calling EC_CODEC_I2S_RX_DISABLE does not make sense because it
checks the value of i2s_rx_enabled first. If i2s_rx_enabled is false,
it will skip the function. However, we don't need to reset while the
i2s_rx_enabled is already false.

In addition, since it is a sub-command, it will return
EC_RES_INVALID_PARAM but not ENOTSUPP if the command is not supported.
And then EC_RES_INVALID_PARAM will turn into -EPROTO finally so it's
difficult to do other operators basing on the return value.

Thanks,
