It's a completely different mode. In I2C mode, the Intel DSP is
suspended until there's something audio-related to do. In SoundWire
mode, the DSP needs to remain partly powered and that's a real issue if
the DSP cannot suspend.

I wasn't trying to push back, more to understand what needs to happen to
support this device.

We could also add the 'normal' clock stop mode and see how things go
first. IIRC we have a quirk already in the SOF driver.

It's really common for us to see a driver probe and the device never
enumerates - that's typical of 'ghost' devices exposed in the ACPI DSDT
but not populated in hardware. It's fine, nothing will happen.

I am not sure what you mean by asserting RESET because until the device
is enumerated, you cannot talk to it with the SoundWire command
protocol. You could always have some sort of sideband power link, but
that would require a bit more work at the core level to switch that
sideband on when the manager resumes.

You're losing me here. the in-band wake is only relevant in the context
of clock-stop. The manager has zero expectations as to when those wakes
are asserted.
