Yes, that assignment was meant for the error / re-prepare case.

For the normal reconfiguration path, hw_params() already clears
pi->active.

My intent there was to avoid carrying over a previously successful
prepared state if prepare() is called again without a preceding
hw_params(), and that new prepare() attempt fails before completion.

That said, I can drop the clear at the beginning of
i2sbus_pcm_prepare() and keep the state reset in hw_params() and
hw_free(), since that is sufficient for the stale-state issue this
patch is addressing.

What you think?
