We're passing "&posn" instead of "posn" so it ends up corrupting
memory instead of doing something useful.

ack, thanks, this is clearly wrong. This function is not used by current
platforms, so the bug has gone unnnoticed. Most platforms either rely on
direct MMIO queries of the DSP position, or the periodic position updates
DSPs send after each ALSA period. This function for host to query DSP
position via IPC is thus not used, although it's part of the generic audio
DSP IPC interface.
For the SOF folks in CC, I wonder should we keep this function at all?
Anyways, that's probably a longer discussion, so while it's there,
the code should be correct, so for the patch:

I checked all the way to 5.2 and it was never used, so indeed wondering
what the purpose of this function was.
