[PATCH 0/2] selftests/alsa: Catch writes that silently change other controls

[HyeongJun An <sammiee5311@gmail.com>]

Mark asked for this in the es8316 thread [1]: have mixer-test check
for other controls changing when one is written. Patch 2 adds that.

Patch 1 fixes a bug that testing patch 2 turned up. With a driver that
notifies a neighbour with a value event, wait_for_event() returns on
the neighbour's event and the next test reports a spurious one.

The cost is two extra writes per control and a read of every other
control on the card after each. On the two cards here, 39 controls in
all, the run time does not move. I have no card with hundreds of
controls to measure against the 45 second kselftest timeout.

  selftests/alsa: Check that a write does not silently change other
    controls
