We have similar device status callback (update_status) to report driver
about Slave status change. Bus calls update_status when Slave reports
status change (please check patch 09/14).

IMO it is safe to communicate with SoundWire device when the Slave
status is ATTACHED. In any case bus will report error if it is not able
to communicate with SoundWire device.
