Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] ASoC: cs35l45: Adds support for SYNC bus

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] cs35l45_sync_en_put() incorrectly returns 0 instead of 1 when the control value is successfully changed.
- [Medium] The driver ignores hardware update failures in cs35l45_sync_en_put(), potentially desynchronizing software and hardware state.

ASoC: cs35l45: Adds support for SYNC bus

Adds support for the multidevice synchronization (SYNC) bus. Initial
support only includes software (SW) data packets.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code need to check the return value of regmap_set_bits() and
regmap_clear_bits() before updating the local software cache?

If the I2C/SPI bus transaction fails, cs35l45->sync_en will be updated even
though the hardware state remains unchanged, potentially desynchronizing
software and hardware state.

[Severity: Medium]
Should this return 1 instead of 0 when the value is actually changed?

In the ALSA kcontrol API, put callbacks must return 1 when the hardware or
cached state is successfully changed, so that ALSA mixer UIs and audio servers
receive a SNDRV_CTL_EVENT_MASK_VALUE notification. Returning 0 here might lead
to state desynchronization in userspace.
