ASoC: core: Don't schedule DAPM work if already in target state
When dapm_power_widgets() is called, the dapm_pre_sequence_async() and dapm_post_sequence_async() functions are scheduled for all DAPM contexts (apart from the card DAPM context) regardless of whether the DAPM context is already in the desired state. The overhead of this is not insignificant and the more DAPM contexts there are the more overhead there is. For example, on the Tegra124 Jetson TK1, when profiling the time taken to execute the dapm_power_widgets() the following times were observed. Times for function dapm_power_widgets() are (us): Min 23, Ave 190, Max 434, Count 39 Here 'Count' is the number of times that dapm_power_widgets() has been called. Please note that the above time were measured using ktime_get() to log the time on entry and exit from dapm_power_widgets(). So it should be noted that these times may not be purely the time take to execute this function if it is preempted. However, after applying this patch and measuring the time taken to execute dapm_power_widgets() again a significant improvement is seen as shown below. Times for function dapm_power_widgets() are (us): Min 4, Ave 16, Max 82, Count 39 Therefore, optimise the dapm_power_widgets() function by only scheduling the dapm_pre/post_sequence_async() work if the DAPM context is not in the desired state.
