Linus Walleij 37e1df8c95 ASoC: dapm: handle probe deferrals
This starts to handle probe deferrals on regulators and clocks
on the ASoC DAPM.

I came to this patch after audio stopped working on Ux500 ages
ago and I finally looked into it to see what is wrong. I had
messages like this in the console since a while back:

ab8500-codec.0: ASoC: Failed to request audioclk: -517
ab8500-codec.0: ASoC: Failed to create DAPM control audioclk
ab8500-codec.0: Failed to create new controls -12
snd-soc-mop500.0: ASoC: failed to instantiate card -12
snd-soc-mop500.0: Error: snd_soc_register_card failed (-12)!
snd-soc-mop500: probe of snd-soc-mop500.0 failed with error -12

Apparently because the widget table for the codec looks like
this (sound/soc/codecs/ab8500-codec.c):

static const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget ab8500_dapm_widgets[] = {

        /* Clocks */
        SND_SOC_DAPM_CLOCK_SUPPLY("audioclk"),

        /* Regulators */
        SND_SOC_DAPM_REGULATOR_SUPPLY("V-AUD", 0, 0),
        SND_SOC_DAPM_REGULATOR_SUPPLY("V-AMIC1", 0, 0),
        SND_SOC_DAPM_REGULATOR_SUPPLY("V-AMIC2", 0, 0),
        SND_SOC_DAPM_REGULATOR_SUPPLY("V-DMIC", 0, 0),

So when we call snd_soc_register_codec() and any of these widgets
get a deferred probe we do not get an -EPROBE_DEFER (-517) back as
we should and instead we just fail. Apparently the code assumes
that clocks and regulators must be available at this point and
not defer.

After this patch it rather looks like this:

ab8500-codec.0: Failed to create new controls -517
snd-soc-mop500.0: ASoC: failed to instantiate card -517
snd-soc-mop500.0: Error: snd_soc_register_card failed (-517)!
(...)
abx500-clk.0: registered clocks for ab850x
snd-soc-mop500.0: ab8500-codec-dai.0 <-> ux500-msp-i2s.1 mapping ok
snd-soc-mop500.0: ab8500-codec-dai.1 <-> ux500-msp-i2s.3 mapping ok

I'm pretty happy about the patch as it it, but I'm a bit
uncertain on how to proceed: there are a lot of users of the
external functions snd_soc_dapm_new_control() (111 sites)
and that will now return an occassional error pointer, which
is not handled in the calling sites.

I want an indication from the maintainers whether I should just
go in and augment all these call sites, or if deferred probe
is frowned upon when it leads to this much overhead.
