Thanks for the explanation.
This is not upstream, right?

What is still not clear to me is which channel fails?
A) the DMA between ACP FIFO and the I2S
B) the DMA between ACP FIFO and system memory

in acp-pcm-dma.c on stop you have a busy loop (10000 iterations) to
check if the channel is in fact stopped in response to the cleared run,
IOCEn bits and the set Rst bit.

Channel closer to the destination is stopped first which sounds
reasonable, but on playback you ignore timeout from A, on capture you
ignore the timeout from B.

Still the issue sounds like exactly what I have described. One of the
DMA is failing to drain because the IP is stopped?

Is this really only affecting stoneyridge platform? Are there other
platforms using drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_acp.c ?
