So driver can send an IPC message but it doesn't know if the device is active or in low powered mode, so it checks... But in case of later, the check yields another IPC message to bring up the DSP, then send the original message. Having same API do both causes circular dependency, so we ended up doing a nopm variant which is used to only wake up or put into low power state. Thanks -- ~Vinod
