[PATCH v3 0/4] ASoC: simple-card: multi DAI links extension

[PATCH v3 0/4] ASoC: simple-card: multi DAI links extension

[Jean-Francois Moine]

This patch series extends the simple card driver to handle
many DAI links as this exists in the Cubox audio subsystem.

-v3
	- remove 'Fix the reference count of device nodes'
		which is applied (Mark Brown)
	- new patch 'Simplify code'
	- dynamically allocate and use properties for all DAI links
		(Jyri Sarha and Li Xiubo)
- v2
	- change subject/comment about device node reference count
		(Mark Brown)
	- use a null size array instead of an implicit area for the DAI links
		(Li Xiubo)
	- update the reference count of the device node at end of probe

[PATCH v3 1/4] ASoC: simple-card: Simplify code

[Jean-Francois Moine]

The global DAI format is used only in the function
asoc_simple_card_parse_of(). So, move it from the private data
to the stack.

[PATCH v3 2/4] ASoC: simple-card: dynamically allocate the DAI link and properties

[Jean-Francois Moine]

The DAI link array and the properties (fmt, sysclk slots) are
hard-coded for a single CPU / CODEC link.

This patch dynamically allocates the DAI link array and the
properties with the aim of supporting many DAI links.

This is only an implementation detail, but wouldn't it produce a cleaner 
implementation if you would write the above structure like this:

   struct simple_card_data {
   	struct snd_soc_card snd_card;
	struct simple_dai_links {
		struct snd_soc_dai_link dai_link;
		struct asoc_simple_dai cpu_dai;
		struct asoc_simple_dai codec_dai;
	} *dai_links;
   };

or even

   struct simple_card_data {
   	struct snd_soc_card snd_card;
	struct simple_dai_links {
		struct snd_soc_dai_link dai_link;
		struct asoc_simple_dai cpu_dai;
		struct asoc_simple_dai codec_dai;
	} dai_links[]; /* dynamically allocated */
   };

But, as said this only an implementation detail.

Jyri,

No, this would not work. The DAI link in the struct snd_soc_card is an
array of struct snd_soc_dai_link. There cannot be anything between the
elements!

Jyri,

No, this would not work. The DAI link in the struct snd_soc_card is an
array of struct snd_soc_dai_link. There cannot be anything between the
elements!

Sorry, I dropped this patch - it conflicts with Nicolin's patch to force
the two ends of the DAI link to have the same format which probably
isn't the ideal fix but at least allows sensible looking DTs to be
written and parsed.  Nicolin is on holiday and I don't have any systems
which use simple-card.

[PATCH v3 3/4] ASoC: simple-card: Handle many DAI links

[Jean-Francois Moine]

Some simple audio cards may have many DAI links.
This patch extends the simple-card driver for handling such cards.

This appears to be updating the device tree binding but there is no
documentation update to go with it.  Given that there are exactly two
DAI subnodes specified explicitly by name in the binding it's not at all
clear how this is intended to work.

This binding forces all the dai links to share the same card level 
properties. I find it problematic in these cases:

>> - simple-audio-card,format		: CPU/CODEC common audio format.
>> 					  "i2s", "right_j", "left_j" , "dsp_a"
>> 					  "dsp_b", "ac97", "pdm", "msb", "lsb"

The code allows having the format parameter in sub nodes too, but the 
document does no mention it. Adding a mention would solve this problem 
at least partly.

Neither does the document mention that 
"simple-audio-card,bitclock-inversion" and 
"simple-audio-card,frame-inversion" are also allowed in card level. 
Currently the code uses simple bit-wise-or from card-level and dai-level 
daifmt parameters, which may lead to broken daifmt setting. However, 
this on directly related to this patch.

>> - dai-tdm-slot-num			: Please refer to tdm-slot.txt.
>> - dai-tdm-slot-width			: Please refer to tdm-slot.txt.

These properties are actually only taken from sub-nodes so the document 
is broken but the code is ok.

In general this binding would look better if another sub-node level 
would added for dai-link related properties, including the cpu and codec 
sub-nodes, but that would break the backwards compatibility.

Jyri

Oh, here's some documentation - please include the documentation

So, this is not exactly pretty as a binding.  I would expect to see the
links explicitly represented in the DT so you see the two DAIs in each
link grouped into a container, the above isn't very easy to read and as
Jyri says this lack of clarity also causes practical problems in that
there's nowhere to place link specific parameters.

I think what I'd expect to see here is that the simple card can either
be a container with a link in it directly or a container of links.

I agree. I see two possible syntaxes:

1) keep the same definitions in the containers:

sound {
	compatible = "simple-audio-card";
	simple-audio-card,name = "Cubox Audio";

	simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {		/* I2S - HDMI */
		simple-audio-card,cpu {
			sound-dai = <&audio1 0>;
			format = "i2s";
		};
		simple-audio-card,codec {
			sound-dai = <&tda998x 0>;

2) new definitions in the container

sound {
	compatible = "simple-audio-card";
	simple-audio-card,name = "Cubox Audio";

	simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {		/* I2S - HDMI */

		cpu-dai = <&audio1 1>;
		codec-dai = <&tda998x 1>;
	};
	...

The 2nd syntax is simpler and clearer, but the properties of the CPU
DAI and of the CODEC DAI are the same in the container (format, clock
and PCM slots). Is this a problem?

BTW, there is a 'dai_fmt' in the DAI link, but this format is not used
in the simple-card. Why?

Yes, things like clocks might be different.  We need a way to specify
DAI specific properties.

Could you be more specific please?  If you mean the dai_fmt feature of
the generic dai_link struct then because of the confusion about what
the DAI formats mean which you'll have seen on the list.

I vote for the version above. As Mark said there is need for dai 
specific properties.

While we are at it we could update the bitclock-master and frame-master 
syntax to be like this:

bitclock-master = "cpu"
frame-master = "codec"

With the above explicit definition all the daifmt settings could be 
defined in link level. For backwards compatibility we could still define 
that omitting the value equals "codec" and omitting the property equals 
"cpu".

It may sometimes be helpful to allow overwriting link level settings in 
dai level. In order to do that it should be possible to write all daifmt 
settings explicitly like this:

bitclock-inversion = <0>; /* <0> = no bitclock-inversion */

If backward compatibility is necessary we could recognize the syntax 
version from the existence dai-link node.

sound {
	compatible = "simple-audio-card";
	simple-audio-card,name = "Simple Audio";
	simple-audio-card,widgets = ...
	simple-audio-card,routing = ...

	simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {		/* I2S - codec */
		format = "i2s";
		bitclock-master = "codec";
		frame-master = "codec";
		bitclock-inversion = <1>;
		simple-audio-card,cpu {
			sound-dai = <&audio1 0>;
			bitclock-inversion = <0>;
		};
		simple-audio-card,codec {
			sound-dai = <&codec 0>;
			system-clock-frequency = <12000000>;
		};
	};
...

I can participate in the implementation too.

It seems it'd be a bit more idiomatic to do that with a phandle rather
than with a string in order to allow extensions for things like TDM (the
I2S to mono speaker driver use case for example).

You mean a like this:

sound {
     compatible = "simple-audio-card";
     simple-audio-card,name = "Simple Audio";
     simple-audio-card,widgets = ...
     simple-audio-card,routing = ...

     simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {        /* I2S - codec */
         format = "i2s";
         bitclock-master = <&codec 0>
         frame-master = <&codec 0>;
         bitclock-inversion = <1>;
         simple-audio-card,cpu {
             sound-dai = <&audio1 0>;
             bitclock-inversion = <0>;
         };
         simple-audio-card,codec {

             system-clock-frequency = <12000000>;
         };
     };

Yep, that makes sense when considering tdm setups with multiple codecs 
on the same wires.

When does this make sense? Either the bitclock is inverted for all of them

Definition of clock signal and it's inversion varies between chip 
manufacturers and sometimes it may not be possible to get all the dai 
drivers to work identically in this respect. Because of this in some 
cases there may be a need to set the inversion bit only at one end of 
the link.

I think there was an example of this in some mail regarding the 
simple-card DT-bidings, but I can't find it ATM.

No, Linux has a definition of all the clock modes which applies to all
devices regardless of what the manufacturer documents in their
datasheet.

Yep. The clock properties are well defined for the different modes that can 
be specified in the format property. It's up to the driver to translate this 
to driver specific settings. If two drivers behave differently for the same 
mode one of them (or both) are broken.

We should probably add the definitions for the different formats to the DT 
bindings. E.g. what is default, what is inverted polarity, etc.

After a little thinking it is clear to me too that only reason to have 
this overwrite capability is a badly written dai driver. Even with buggy 
HW it should always be possible to present the working modes in daifmt 
terms. Ok, let's remove it.

Here is an updated DT example with updated phandle for master settings:

sound {
     compatible = "simple-audio-card";
     simple-audio-card,name = "Simple Audio";
     simple-audio-card,widgets = ...
     simple-audio-card,routing = ...

     simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {        /* I2S - codec */
         format = "i2s";
         bitclock-master = <&dai_link_master>
         frame-master = <&dai_link_master>;
         bitclock-inversion;
         simple-audio-card,cpu {
             sound-dai = <&audio1 0>;
         };
         dai_link_master: simple-audio-card,codec {
             sound-dai = <&codec 0>;
             system-clock-frequency = <12000000>;
         };
     };
...
