[RESEND PATCH 2/2] ASoC: sof: Improve sof_ipc4_bytes_ext_put function

From: Daniel Baluta
Date: Tue May 16 2023 - 09:25:01 EST


From: Paul Olaru <paul.olaru@xxxxxxx>

The function is improved in the way that if the firmware returns a
validation error on the newly sent bytes, then the kernel will
automatically restore to the old bytes value for a given kcontrol.

This way, if the firmware rejects a data blob then the kernel will also
reject it, instead of saving it for the next suspend/resume cycle. The
old behaviour is that the kernel would save it anyway and on next
firmware boot it would apply the previously-rejected configuration,
leading to errors during playback.

Additionally, the function also saves previously validated
configurations, so that if the firmware does end up rejecting a new
bytes value the kernel can send an old, previously-valid configuration.
