[PATCH v2] amixer: skip showing asoc tlv byte controls

[PATCH v2] amixer: skip showing asoc tlv byte controls

[Vinod Koul]

ASoC TLV Byte controls are very large size controls so we should add new
options for these. So skip dumping contents for these.

$amixer -c0 cget numid=16
numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='mdl params'
  ; type=BYTES,access=-----RW-,values=30336
  : ASoC TLV Byte control, skipping bytes dump

No, as I wrote before, checking the type isn't enough.
Assigning a TLV to BYTES type doesn't mean necessarily that it's an
ASoC EXT control.  You need to check the r/w capabilities as well.


thanks,

Oops missed that part.

So am making it

if (type == SND_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_BYTES &&
	(snd_ctl_elem_info_is_tlv_readable(info) ||
	snd_ctl_elem_info_is_tlv_writable(info))) {

But this control can be read only or write only. Like a module doesnt allow
read, or some is read only so OR should be good here

Also should it check it is not normal read/write ?

Thanks

Yes.

	/* skip ASoC ext bytes controls that may have huge binary TLV data */
	if (type == SND_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_BYTES &&
 	    !snd_ctl_elem_info_is_readable(info) &&
	    !snd_ctl_elem_info_is_writable(info))
		goto __skip_tlv;
