This will cost us additional check (2x reply==NULL instead of 1x). Maybe
a newline between:

	reply->header = ipc->rx.header;

	if (!ret && reply->data)
		memcpy(reply->data, ipc->rx.data, reply->size);

suffices?

In general I'm avoiding that subject here. Quite disappointed with what
I had to face, and that's not "just" existing linux solution but every
other component involved in LPT/WPT ADSP project.

I have plans for many more comments Andy, e.g.: fw image block division
(ascii graph and such). All of that will come in time, eventually. Not
intending to leave catpt without maintenance like other sound/soc/intel/
solutions once were.

If there are no other concerns, either a quick spinoff (v10) or delay
those readability improvements till series with resource_union() re-use?

While catpt is a big upgrade when compared to existing /haswell/
(obviously) there are more fruits of this rewrite: house cleaning -
follow-up series targeting /haswell/, /baytrail/ and /common/ of
sound/soc/intel. Guess everyone would like to see those in 5.10.
