Hi Dikshita,

First I'll comment on this patch, then at the end I have more high-level
comments.

BTW, which decoder drivers support this in mainline? Or is this
for out-of-tree drivers?

M2M devices still don't support this, except for stateful codecs. So this test
should still be there, just changed to:

!(node->codec_mask & (STATEFUL_ENCODER | STATEFUL_DECODER))

Similar.

But modifying the utility is something you only do if the spec has first been updated.
So the stateful decoder chapter needs to be modified so it explains how G/S_PARM
shall be used. And ideally have at least one driver that supports it.
