[PATCH] ASoC: tas2783-sdw: power the Function up before preparing the port

From: Andrey Golovko

Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 17:33:35 EST


A Data Port cannot complete channel preparation while the SDCA Function
is powered down: the peripheral raises the channel's bit in
DPn_PrepareStatus and never clears it.

tas_sdw_hw_params() takes care of that for a stream that is being set
up, and the retry loop there says so - "ensure power on so that port
prepare succeeds". Port preparation, however, also happens on a stream
that is merely re-prepared, without hw_params() running again. That is
what userspace does after a suspend in which the peripheral lost power:
snd_pcm_prepare() reaches .prepare and sdw_prepare_stream(), the port is
prepared afresh, but PDE23 is still at the PS3 reset default because
nothing wrote it since the device came back.

The result is silence with no error anywhere. The codec sets
simple_ch_prep_sm, so sdw_prep_deprep_slave_port() skips the
NOT_PREPARED poll, and a port that never prepares is indistinguishable
from a healthy one.

Power the Function up in the PRE_PREP callback, immediately before the
PrepareCtrl write it already performs, so that preparation has what it
needs on every path that prepares a port.

Measured on an ASUS ProArt PX13 (AMD ACP7.0, two TAS2783): after s2idle
with ~100 s of S0i3 residency, DPn_PrepareStatus stays at the channel
mask and there is no audio; writing PDE23 PS0 and re-issuing the prepare
clears it within 1 ms and audio returns.

Measured on ASUS ProArt PX13 HN7306EAC (AMD ACP7.0, two TAS2783 at unique
0x8/0xB plus an rt721-sdca on link 1), on broonie/sound for-next.

Before, after an s2idle cycle in which the amplifiers really were powered
off, with no userspace workaround running:

PDE23 req=0x3 act=0x3 DPn_PrepareStatus 0x1 / 0x2 no audio

With this patch, same machine, an 8 min 51 s cycle with 526 s of S0i3
residency:

PDE23 req=0x0 act=0x0 DPn_PrepareStatus 0x0 / 0x0 audio works

Full analysis of the failure, including a reproduction that talks to the
peripheral directly and needs no ALSA at all, is in this thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260812192500.7714-1-andrey.golovko@xxxxxxxxx/

There I suggested the fix might instead belong in the AMD ACP driver,
which advertises SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME on its SoundWire DMA PCMs. I have
since tested that and it does not help, for a reason worth recording:
after resume userspace calls snd_pcm_prepare(), which reaches .prepare
and sdw_prepare_stream() but never hw_params() again -- ALSA only
requires hw_params() after hw_free(). The port is therefore re-prepared
correctly, the bank flips and PrepareCtrl is written, while the Function
is still at PS3. No PCM flag can change that; the power-up has to sit on
a callback that runs whenever a port is prepared.
