This implies that ch_map is always an array of
PCM_FORMAT_MAX_NUM_CHANNEL elements. As such it would be better to
express this in the prototype; i.e u8 ch_map[PCM_FORMAT_MAX_NUM_CHANNEL]

This is a switch statement.

Indentation, and these could be given more succinct names.

This, element 0x13, is not listed among the defined errors. Is this a
placeholder?

How about making this even more descriptive by using the format

[ADSP_EBADPARAM] = { -EINVAL, ADSP_EBADPARAM_STR },

That way the mapping table is self-describing.

And you can use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of specifying the fixed size of
ADSP_ERR_MAX + 1...

"Advertise error"?

Can this be made internal to some c-file? So that any third party deals
only with linux error codes?


How about renaming this q6dsp_errno()?

I think this would look better if you assign a local variable and have a
single return. And just hard code the "invalid error code" errno, rather
than looking up ADSP_ERR_MAX in the list.

q6dsp_strerror(), to match strerror(3)?

And I do think that, as with strerror, this should return a human
readable error, not the stringified define.

I'm puzzled to why these helper functions lives in a header file, at
least some aspects of this would better be hidden...
