Part of this commit message says that the problem was making the registersInitial problem was, during playback if device suspended, I2S and DMA
non-volatile but both the change and the rest of the commit message say
that the issue was that the registers were made volatile. I'm also
still unclear as to what the issue is either way - how does reading the
state of the registers from the hardware instead of the cache affect
things?
control registers
are getting reset and unable to recover playback after resume.
As these registers were non volatile registers, driver is not getting actual
register value
and unable to report error state to application. Due to this application
keeps on polling for HW current pointer state and not exited from PCM
running state.
Later from review comments by Srinivas kandagatla, I got to know
about regcache sync APIs, which can be used to sync cache after resume and
HW registers can be updated with original values. With that playback can be
continued.
So is the reason, I am reverting partial changes in the commit b1824968221c.
with the hardware doesn't involve syncing the register cache with the
hardware.
