Thanks for the detailed answer, this sequence of events will certainly
defeat the Cadence IP and the way sticky bits were handled.

The UNATTACHED case was assumed to be a really rare case of losing sync,
i.e. a SOFT_RESET in SoundWire parlance.

If you explicitly do a device reset, that would be a new scenario that
was not considered before on any of the existing SoundWire commercial
devices. It's however something we need to support, and your work here
is much appreciated.

I still think we should re-check the actual status from a PING frame, in
order to work with more current data than the sticky bits taken at an
earlier time, but that would only be a minor improvement.

I also have a vague feeling that additional work is needed to make sure
the DAIs are not used before that second enumeration and all firmware
download complete. I did a couple of tests last year where I used the
debugfs interface to issue a device reset command while streaming audio,
and the detach/reattach was not handled at the ASoC level.

I really don't see any logical flaws in your patch as is, so

I have pushed an alternative fix that waits until it sees an UNATTACHED
status before reprogramming the device ID.

I've tested it with 4 amps on the same bus, all being reset after their
firmware has been downloaded.

I leave it to you to choose which fix you prefer. The second fix is
simpler and I didn't see any problems in testing.
