[PATCH v2 0/2] ASoC: fix audio on the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (Intel)

[Sergey Lebedev]

The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 for Business (Intel, Lunar Lake) has no working
audio under Linux: the speakers are silent while every layer reports success.
These two patches fix it, and the machine then works with the stock
sof-soundwire UCM profile and the shipped topologies - no board quirk, no new
match entry, no local configuration of any kind.

v1 was three patches: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sound/20260804225853.31585-1-lsa.uz@xxxxx/
Two of them are replaced here by a single DMI quirk, which is what Bard Liao
and Pierre-Louis Bossart asked for in review, and which is both smaller and
safer than what it replaces.

The board carries one physical RT1320 amplifier on SoundWire link 0 and
describes it twice:

  SWRA  _ADR 0x000030025D132000   SDCA class 0
  SWRB  _ADR 0x000030025D132001   SDCA class 1

Identical apart from the class id: same link, same manufacturer, part and
version, same unique id 0. The part reports class 1, so only SWRB ever
enumerates. SWRA stays UNATTACHED on every boot and on every firmware version
tested, including the November 2025 bundle, and the firmware is signed vendor
firmware we cannot have corrected at the source.

That ghost broke two things at once. It consumed an amplifier index, so the
real part was named "rt1320-2" and the stock UCM enabled switches on a device
that is not there; and its endpoints reached create_sdw_dailink(), which builds
DAI link names from link id and function type alone, so its SmartMic collided
with the real one and the card failed to register at all with -EEXIST.

v1 fixed those two symptoms in two places, each with its own way of noticing
the ghost. Removing the ghost at enumeration instead fixes both at once and
needs no runtime presence test:

  1/2 rt1320: the amplifier's preset never runs, because the driver waits for
      FUNCTION_NEEDS_INITIALIZATION and this part never sets it. rt712-sdca and
      rt722-sdca already handle this by also running the preset on the first
      hardware init; rt1320 is the odd one out. One line, unchanged from v1.

  2/2 dmi-quirks: remap the ghost _ADR to zero so sdw_acpi_find_slaves() never
      creates the peripheral, as ghost_realtek and global_ghost_adr already do.
      Matched on DMI_PRODUCT_SKU, not the product name, so a later batch with a
      different RT1320 version - and therefore a different _ADR - cannot be
      caught by a remap it was never verified against.

Testing. Surface Pro 11 for Business (Intel Core Ultra 7 268V). Verified on the
machine's own kernel, 7.0.0-30 (Ubuntu 26.04), with 2/2 backported to that
tree: its dmi-quirks.c predates ghost_realtek, but the table entry is identical
and the mechanism is unchanged - slave.c drops a peripheral whose overridden
_ADR is zero in both trees. 1/2 is byte-identical to v1's 1/3, which was built
and booted on 7.1.0-rc7.

  - /sys/bus/soundwire/devices/ shows only sdw:0:0:025d:1320:01; the class-0
    ghost is gone
  - amplifier named rt1320-1, controls "rt1320-1 OT23 L/R Switch"
  - card registers as sof-soundwire, 4 playback + 1 capture
  - no -EEXIST, no -61 link startup errors
  - speakers audible, internal microphone captures signal
  - stock alsa-ucm-conf and firmware-sof-signed, no local configuration
  - Secure Boot enabled with module signature enforcement, no rejections

One thing the review process turned up that is worth recording. The v1 cover
letter said the DAI link name collision was "no longer reachable on this
machine and we cannot demonstrate it". That was wrong: during v2 testing a boot
where the quirk did not take effect reproduced it exactly, and it is fatal.
create_sdw_dailink()'s naming scheme is still not unique in general. This series
does not address that - it removes the ghost before the naming code sees it -
and I am happy to send a separate patch if you would like it fixed.

checkpatch --strict is clean on both.
