This is a very generic name that looks likely to collide with something
else, please namespace.

Where do these numbers come from?  Are they hardware limits or something
else?

Don't work around this here, fix it in the relevant header.

This sounds like something that is going to be platform dependant,
should this be supplied from board configuration?

Prototype shared definitions in headers not in C files please so we know
the definition matches.

Why an array with only one entry?

I didn't see the lock being taken?

What are we writing here?  If we're going behind the driver's back on
something that might confuse it it's generally better to taint the
kernel so we know dodgy stuff happened later on.

It'd be nicer to create this under the relevant ASoC debugfs directory
so it's easier to find.

This include should be with all the other includes, not down here.

Print return codes if you get them.

Should we be checking this if the decompression failed?

Blank lines between things please.

Please split this up into a few prints for wrapping, similarly in
several other places.

Why the cast here?  I'm also not seeing where we handled the copying to
I/O in the decompression case?

This should be _dbg() at most, otherwise it's going to get noisy.

Those casts look fishy...

Again print errors please.

I'm not seeing any diagnostics if we fall out of the retry loop here?

There's generally no need for unlikely() annotations outside of hot
paths.

I'd expect del_timer_sync() to make sure that the timer stopped.

It might be useful to display the firmware version we loaded.

This is going to get noisy and isn't adding much.

This looks horribly racy, I'd expect us to be trashing and/or killing
off any active work and resources here.

So we have a timer that just schedules some work?  Why not just
schedule_delayed_work()?

Why is this code not shared with the restart case?

This appears to have a DT binding but the binding is not documented.
All new DT bindings must be documented.  I'm concerned that some of the
properties being read from DT may not be ideal here...
