Hi,

This patch is for SOF v1.3 firmware. The DSP firmware will crash (DSP oops)

The ABI version is used for the comparison, because the firmware version
for the firmware files before 1.4.2 was not set properly (git hash was
used).

build fails when this is applied on broonie/for-next. You need an

My results with older firmwares and this patch are a bit mixed. When I
apply this patch and boot with v1.3 FW on a CFL platform (ABI 3.7.0,
version 1:1:0-5dd9a), I get a DSP panic at stream stop with this patch,
but _without_ it, playback is fine. :P

I tested both v1.3.1 and v1.3, and I get a DSP panic at stream stop with
your patch (ABI 3:7:0 on both of these so trigger order is not changed).
With v1.4 and all newer, streaming works as expected.

Ok, then I wonder how the pre-5.5 kernel worked (because it's just revert of
5eee2b3f60065a2530d13f28e771be48b989eb4c for older firmware versions which should be tested with the old code).

The original problem was sensitive to timing, so apparently there is still
some variation how this triggers on different platforms. With 1.4, 1.4.1
and 1.4.2 now out, primary solution is just to upgrade the firmware.

If this fix helps with some real-life case to cope with an old firmware,
we should probably still consider this. Ranjani, does the above make
sense?

Ok, it's really weird that we cannot determine the firmware/driver combination which cause the DSP lock. I would propose to block the older firmware load <1.4 (or 1.4.2 which has the correct firmware version!) then (at least with a big warning or module option which is off by default) for the newer kernels.
