If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 5 10:28:31 CEST 2017 From: Charles Keepax <ckeepax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 16:54:33 +0000 Subject: ASoC: wm_adsp: Return an error on write to a disabled volatile control From: Charles Keepax <ckeepax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 67430a39ca7a6af28aade5acb92d43ee257c1014 ] Volatile controls should only be accessed when the firmware is active, currently however writes to these controls will succeed, but the data will be lost, if the firmware is powered down. Update this behaviour such that an error is returned the same as it is for reads.
