[PATCH v2 0/2] Add SoundWire detach helper
From: Charles Keepax
Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 15:03:26 EST
Currently, if a SoundWire driver takes an action that causes the device
to detach from the bus it needs to be careful. There will be a period of
time until the detach is recognised by the core, if the driver
immediately
calls sdw_slave_wait_for_init() it is possible for that to complete
before the detach has been recognised. Leaving the driver with a device
that is potentially not ready for what follows.
To avoid this race add a new helper that drivers can use to inform the
core the device will detach. This clears the enumeration completions
ensuring that sdw_slave_wait_for_init() can't complete until the device
re-attaches.
This is the third part of a longer series of moving these slave
attach/deatach operations into the core:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sound/20260608102714.2503120-1-ckeepax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
I have based this series off Vinod's soundwire tree as that probably
makes sense for which tree to take it through.
Thanks,
Charles
