[PATCH 02/11] ASoC: apple: Explain DAI startup return value handling

From: phucduc . bui

Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 00:10:49 EST


From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a comment explaining why .startup() must return 0 on success
to ensure the DAI is correctly marked as started and prevent
future changes from reintroducing the issue.
