With the new SND_SOC_SOF_DEBUG_IPC_MSG_INJECTOR it is going to be
possible to inject arbitrary messages via the debugfs/sof/ipc_msg_inject
file and get the reply from the same file as a binary.

The main use of this feature is to stress test the firmware's robustness
against maliciously (or erroneous) crafted messages.
We also receive firmware crash reports with only a binary of the sent
message which caused the firmware crash.

Before adding the new debug feature we needed to make sure that the IPC
reply handling is working correctly for cases when we don't know
beforehand the size of the reply (since we don't know what kind of
message we are sending).

  ASoC: SOF: utils: Add generic function to get the reply for a tx
    message
  ASoC: SOF: imx: Use the generic helper to get the reply
  ASoC: SOF: intel: Use the generic helper to get the reply
  ASoC: SOF: debug: Add support for IPC message injection

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
