+ /* SW reset */ + regmap_write(mvc->regmap, TEGRA210_MVC_SOFT_RESET, 1);What about all the cached values in the regmap, won't they get out of sync? Especially things like volume and mute, it looks like the mute just gets written directly to the regmap and not otherwise saved.

1. I think original idea was to disable MVC (forcefully) before new configurations are applied and eventually it gets enabled via DAPM path. DAPM path handles disable also, but sometimes MVC may get stuck in enable state (due to a previous usage) when all the data in pipeline is not processed. My understanding is that reset is restricted to this alone. The volume/mute registers seem not to be affected by reset. However I will confirm with HW about the reset behavior and affected register map. Thanks for pointing this.
I confirmed the behavior with HW folk here. The reset above clears all FSM, flushes flow control of FIFO and resets the state registers. It also brings module back to disabled state (without flushing the data in the pipe). There is no impact on the register cache, as state registers are anyway volatile and module disable is applicable only when it was hung in previous usage. Otherwise DAPM would disable the module during session close.
This needs to be *much* clearer in the code, it looks like a bug at the minute. It's very surprising that some of the registers wouldn't be affected by a reset.
