ASoC: Intel: catpt: Firmware loading and context restore
For Lynxpoint and Wildcat Point solution, is it host's responsibility to allocate SRAM regions and ensure those already taken are not overwritten with other data until released. Blocks are transferred to SRAM - either IRAM or DRAM - via DW DMA controller. Once basefw is booted, ownership of DMA transfer is lost in favour of DSP. Hosts reponsibilities don't end on initial block allocation and binary transfer. During Dx transitions host must store FW runtime context from DRAM before putting AudioDSP subsystem into lower power state. Said context gets flashed after D0 entry to bring DSP right where it was just before suspending. Load and restore procedures are finalized with SRAM power gating and adequate clock level selection. This power gates unused EBBs and clock speed effectively reducing power consumption.
