At every resume a laptop I use prints this message (at KERN_ERR level):
ALSA sound/pci/intel8x0m.c:904: AC'97 warm reset still in progress? [0x2]
The thing to note here is that 0x2 corresponds to ICH_AC97COLD. Ie, what
seems to be happening is that the register involved indicated a warm
reset for some time (as the ICH_AC97WARM bit was set) but by the time
the warning is printed, and that same register is checked again, that
bit is already cleared and only the ICH_AC97COLD bit is still set.
It turns out a warm reset needs some time to settle, but it is currently
checked right away. The test therefore fails the first time it is done
and schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() will be called. Once we return
from that jiffies is already (far) past end_time on this laptop, so we
exit the loop, print a warning, and exit the function while the warm
reset actually succeeded.
A way to fix this is to call usleep_range() after writing to the
register involved. A handful of tests suggest 500 usecs is a safe value.
(This might punish the "finish cold reset" case, but on this laptop such
a cold reset apparently never happens, so I can't say for sure.)
While we're at it drop the extra single tick from end_time, as it looks
rather silly.
