Ok, but the other side doesn't have both RX and TX enabled.
If the active side needed RX to receive information for the other side,
the passive one would need TX enabled too.
So if a feedback is necessary, both channels on both sides would be
enabled, not one channel in one side and both on the other.

I had long talks with apps guys on this when I was at Cirrus.
And my understanding is:
A new CS35L41 can misunderstand the information on MDSYNC bus if a
communication is already in place, between another pair of CS35L41, so
to avoid that, any CS35L41 being turn on in a already active MDSYNC bus,
must execute those steps.

We could move the active amp up in DAPM graph so its enabled before all
passive ones, but we would still need to execute that for all passive
amps. So there is not much point in that.

Here I can see that if I enable SYNC_EN during probe without clocks the
device becomes unresponsive, at least with the current code.
So following the datasheet and enabling SYNC_EN only after clocks seems
to resolve Steam decks issue.

Questions I never got an answer from APPS guys:

- Can we enable SYNC_EN during probe if we know there is no playback
happening, no clocks and Global enable off? Steam decks seem to answer
no here. If yes, why having pm_runtime features makes the device become
unresponsive?

- Can we leave SYNC_EN enabled during Global enable off and no clocks?

- If SYNC_EN is enabled and we only set Global enable on after the PLL
lock happened, do we still need to execute those steps? I mean, if the
driver only deals with Global enable and leaves shared boost configured
since boost, will MDSYNC bus work?
