And, aren't you able to reproduce the issue?

If I am not mistaken this ends calling i2s_rx_set_daifmt() into the EC firmware,
if the result is -EPROTO that means is not returning EC_RES_SUCCESS, so there
are few options:

	if (i2s_rx_enabled)
		return EC_RES_BUSY;

	if (daifmt >= EC_CODEC_I2S_RX_DAIFMT_COUNT)
		return EC_RES_INVALID_PARAM;

	if (audio_codec_i2s_rx_set_daifmt(daifmt) != EC_SUCCESS)
		return EC_RES_ERROR;

Are you sure that when you know the error code you'll find the root cause
(without adding more prints)? There is only three possibilities? You can't start
adding prints just to debug a user issue because you don't allow to be more
verbose. I understand that might help you but is not the way to go.

You should really reproduce the issue yourself an use actual debug
tools/prints./traces.

 Enric
