[ Upstream commit b481eabe5a193ba8499f446c2ab7e0ac042f8776 ]

Speaker protection and VI feedback modules are disabled by default.
Explicitly enable them when configuring speaker protection.

[ Upstream commit d5bfdd28e0cdd45043ae6e0ac168a451d59283dc ]

Check widget type before accessing the private data, as this could a
virtual widget which is no associated with a dsp graph, container and
module. Accessing witout check could lead to incorrect memory access.

<content type='text'>
commit 4a0e1bcc98f7281d1605768bd2fe71eacc34f9b7 upstream.

looks like q6apm driver does not remove the child driver q6apm-dai and
q6apm-bedais when the this driver is removed.

Fix this by depopulating them in remove callback.

With this change when the dsp is shutdown all the devices associated with
q6apm will now be removed.

commit 69acc488aaf39d0ddf6c3cf0e47c1873d39919a2 upstream.

As prepare can be called mulitple times, this can result in multiple
graph opens for playback path.

This will result in a memory leaks, fix this by adding a check before
opening.

commit cab45ab95ce7600fc0ff84585c77fd45b7b0d67c upstream.

Reset queue pointer on SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP event to be inline
with resetting appl_ptr. Without this we will end up with a queue_ptr
out of sync and driver could try to send data that is not ready yet.

Fix this by resetting the queue_ptr.

<content type='text'>
commit 6ec1235fc941dac6c011b30ee01d9220ff87e0cd upstream.

q6apm component registers dais dynamically from ASoC toplology, which
are allocated using device managed version apis. Allocating both
component and dynamic dais using managed version could lead to incorrect
free ordering, dai will be freed while component still holding references
to it.

Fix this issue by moving component to unmanged version so
that the dai pointers are only freeded after the component is removed.

<title>ASoC: qcom: qdsp6: Fix q6apm remove ordering during ADSP stop and start</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d6db827b430bdcca3976cebca7bd69cca03cde2c</id>
<content type='text'>
During ADSP stop and start, the kernel crashes due to the order in which
ASoC components are removed.

On ADSP stop, the q6apm-audio .remove callback unloads topology and removes
PCM runtimes during ASoC teardown. This deletes the RTDs that contain the
q6apm DAI components before their removal pass runs, leaving those
components still linked to the card and causing crashes on the next rebind.

Fix this by ensuring that all dependent (child) components are removed
first, and the q6apm component is removed last.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".
