[ Upstream commit 31ddc62c1cd92e51b9db61d7954b85ae2ec224da ]

ALSA controls should return 1 if the value in the control changed but the
control put operation fsl_easrc_set_reg() only returns 0 or a negative
error code, causing ALSA to not generate any change events. Add a suitable
check by using regmap_update_bits_check() with the underlying regmap, this
is more clearly and simply correct than trying to verify that one of the
generic ops is exactly equivalent to this one.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The driver has been present since 2020 (v5.8 timeframe), so it exists in
all current stable trees.

## Analysis

**What the commit fixes:**
The `fsl_easrc_set_reg()` function is an ALSA control `.put` callback.
Per ALSA API contract, `.put` callbacks must return 1 if the value
changed, 0 if unchanged, or negative on error. The original code always
returned 0 on success (via `snd_soc_component_write()`), never returning
1, which means ALSA never generated change notification events to
userspace when the control value was updated.

**The fix:**
Replaces `snd_soc_component_write()` with `regmap_update_bits_check()`
which provides a `changed` boolean output. The function now returns
`changed` (0 or 1) on success, correctly implementing the ALSA control
API.

**Stable criteria assessment:**
1. **Obviously correct and tested**: Yes - authored and signed off by
   Mark Brown (ASoC maintainer). The pattern is well-established across
   many similar fixes in ASoC (I found 15+ similar "Fix event
   generation" commits).
2. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes - missing change events means userspace
   applications (e.g., PulseAudio, PipeWire, ALSA mixer tools) won't be
   notified of control changes, causing incorrect UI state or behavior.
3. **Small and contained**: Yes - changes only a few lines in a single
   function, in a single file.
4. **No new features**: Correct - this is purely a bug fix restoring
   proper API semantics.
5. **Risk**: Very low - the `regmap_update_bits_check()` API has been
   available for a long time, and the change is a well-understood
   pattern used across many ASoC drivers.

**Scope**: The change is surgical - it replaces
`snd_soc_component_write()` with `regmap_update_bits_check()` and
adjusts the return value logic. The semantic behavior is the same
(writing the register value) but now it also detects whether the value
actually changed.

**Verification:**
- Read the current file at lines 93-110: confirmed the fix is applied
  and is as described in the diff.
- `git log` on the file: the driver was introduced in commit
  955ac624058f9 (2020-04-16), present in all current LTS trees (5.15+,
  6.1+, 6.6+).
- Searched for similar "Fix event generation" commits in ASoC: found 15+
  similar commits following the exact same pattern, indicating this is a
  well-established class of bug fix that has been widely backported
  before.
- The commit is authored by Mark Brown, the ASoC subsystem maintainer,
  lending high confidence in correctness.
- The `regmap_update_bits_check()` API has been available since at least
  v3.x, so no dependency issues for stable trees.
- Could not verify if the companion commit 8f8d0defdb1a3 (fixing
  `fsl_easrc_iec958_put_bits()`) would also need backporting - it's a
  separate but related fix for the same class of bug in the same file.

**YES** - This is a small, surgical bug fix by the ASoC maintainer that
corrects incorrect ALSA control API behavior (missing change events).
The pattern is well-established across many ASoC drivers, carries
minimal risk, and the driver has existed in stable trees since 2020.

**YES**

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-5.10] ASoC: fsl_easrc: Fix event generation in fsl_easrc_iec958_put_bits()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 54a86cf48eaa6d1ab5130d756b718775e81e1748 ]

ALSA controls should return 1 if the value in the control changed but the
control put operation fsl_easrc_iec958_put_bits() unconditionally returns
0, causing ALSA to not generate any change events. This is detected by
mixer-test with large numbers of messages in the form:

    No event generated for Context 3 IEC958 CS5
    Context 3 IEC958 CS5.0 orig 5224 read 5225, is_volatile 0

Add a suitable check.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The driver has been present since v5.8 (2020), so it exists in all
current stable trees.

## Analysis

**What the commit fixes:**
The `fsl_easrc_iec958_put_bits()` function is an ALSA control put
callback. Per the ALSA API contract, put callbacks must return 1 when
the control value changes and 0 when it doesn't. This function
unconditionally returned 0, which meant ALSA never generated change
events for IEC958 controls on this hardware. The fix adds a simple
comparison before the assignment and returns whether the value changed.

**Bug category:** Incorrect return value / missing event generation — a
real functional bug.

**Scope and risk:**
- 3 lines changed (adding `int ret`, comparing old vs new value,
  returning `ret` instead of `0`)
- Purely local to one function in one driver
- The fix is obviously correct — standard ALSA pattern used across
  hundreds of drivers
- Zero risk of regression — the only behavioral change is that change
  events are now properly generated

**Author:** Mark Brown, the ASoC subsystem maintainer. He is both the
author and committer, demonstrating high confidence in the fix.

**Stable criteria:**
- Obviously correct: Yes — trivial pattern
- Fixes real bug: Yes — missing change events mean userspace
  applications (mixers, audio daemons) don't get notified of control
  changes
- Small and contained: Yes — 3 lines in one function
- No new features: Correct — just fixes existing behavior to match API
  contract
- Tested: Detected by mixer-test, fix validated by same

**User impact:** Any system using the NXP/Freescale EASRC (Enhanced
Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter) where userspace monitors IEC958
control changes would silently miss updates. This affects audio
applications relying on ALSA event notifications.

## Verification

- Read the current code at `sound/soc/fsl/fsl_easrc.c:46-62` — confirmed
  the fix is applied and is the standard pattern (compare before assign,
  return difference)
- `git log master --reverse` confirmed driver was introduced in commit
  955ac624058f9 (2020-04-16, v5.8 cycle), so it exists in all maintained
  stable trees
- The function is referenced at line 125 as `.put =
  fsl_easrc_iec958_put_bits` in a macro, confirming it's used as an ALSA
  control callback
- Author is Mark Brown (broonie@kernel.org), the ASoC maintainer —
  verified from commit metadata
- The fix pattern (checking old != new before returning from put
  callback) is a well-established ALSA convention — no novel logic

**YES**
