[ Upstream commit f40ecc2743652c0b0f19935f81baf57c601eb7f0 ]
ASoC has 2 functions to set bias level.
(A) snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level()
(B) snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level()
snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level() (A) will set dapm->bias_level (a) if
successed.
(A) int snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level(...)
{
...
if (ret == 0)
(a) dapm->bias_level = level;
...
}
snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() (B) is also a function that sets bias_level.
It will call snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level() (A) inside, but doesn't
set dapm->bias_level by itself. One note is that (A) might not be called.
(B) static int snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level(...)
{
...
ret = snd_soc_card_set_bias_level(...);
...
if (dapm != &card->dapm)
(A) ret = snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level(...);
...
ret = snd_soc_card_set_bias_level_post(...);
...
}
dapm->bias_level will be set if (A) was called, but might not be set
if (B) was called, even though it calles set_bias_level() function.
We should set dapm->bias_level if we calls
snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() (B), too.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Based on my analysis, here's my assessment:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
1. **Bug Fix**: This is a clear bug fix that addresses an inconsistency
in bias level management. The commit message clearly explains that
`snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level()` doesn't always update
`dapm->bias_level`, particularly when dealing with card-level DAPM
contexts where `snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level()` is not called.
2. **Small and Contained**: The fix is minimal - it only adds 4 lines of
code:
```c
/* success */
if (ret == 0)
snd_soc_dapm_init_bias_level(dapm, level);
```
This ensures that `dapm->bias_level` is always updated when the bias
level change succeeds.
3. **Important Correctness Issue**: The inconsistency could lead to
incorrect bias level tracking, which affects power management
decisions in the ASoC subsystem. Code that checks `dapm->bias_level`
(as shown in lines like `if (dapm->bias_level == SND_SOC_BIAS_ON)`)
may make wrong decisions if the bias level isn't properly tracked.
4. **No Architectural Changes**: This is a straightforward fix that
doesn't introduce new features or change the architecture. It simply
ensures consistent behavior between the two bias level setting
functions.
5. **Low Risk**: The change only affects the success path (when `ret ==
0`) and uses an existing inline function
`snd_soc_dapm_init_bias_level()` that simply sets `dapm->bias_level =
level`. This is the same operation that
`snd_soc_dapm_force_bias_level()` performs on success.
6. **Affects User-Facing Functionality**: Incorrect bias level tracking
can lead to power management issues, potentially causing audio
devices to not power up/down correctly, which directly impacts users.
The commit fixes a real bug where the DAPM bias level state could become
out of sync with the actual hardware state, particularly for card-level
DAPM contexts. This is exactly the type of bug fix that stable kernels
should include - it's small, targeted, fixes a real issue, and has
minimal risk of introducing regressions.
