Reforming S3C I2S towards supporting I2Sv4

Reforming S3C I2S towards supporting I2Sv4

[Jassi Brar]

Hello,

 I have prepared some patches that debug and modify the behaviour of
extant S3C I2S support towards managing I2Sv4 controllers as well.

Overall pic...
 For now the 'new' I2Sv4 CPU driver(s3c64xx-i2s-v4.c) is almost a copy
of s3c64xx-i2s.c The driver will evolve as support for more features is
added.
 Minor quirks in otherwise similar controllers are handled by defining
a new field(feature) in 'struct s3c_i2sv2_info' that is meant to contain
1-bit flags for absence/presence of such quirks.
 The header with I2S register map and bit definitions has been copied
to where the drivers are(sound/soc/s3c24xx/) since the header has nothing
usable for platform code. Also, it will help avoid need for co-ordination
between ASoC and S3C ARCH trees. For now, the header regs-s3c2412-iis.h
is left intact but rendered useless by making ASoC drivers include the
newly copied version of it (sound/soc/s3c24xx/regs-i2s-v2.h) Later the
header could be dropped by patches to S3C PLAT tree.

The patches apply against 'for-2.6.35' of 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound-2.6.git

Regards.

I'm not too keen on moving CPU register and bit definitions out of ARCH.

The header doesn't contain absolute register addresses, but only
offsets. The base address of I2S controllers are defined in PLAT
specific header. So, I think we can move the header.

Folks please ignore the second copy of patches 11-20.
Git send-email seems to have 'buffer' ... first <git send-email
*.patch> command emailed only patches 1-10   second copy was actually
sent
when I tried to resend 11-20 again thinking they have been dropped.
Sorry.

Isn't this really the same thing ?

I don't think your reason of "co-ordination between ASoC and S3C ARCH
trees" can justify breaking kernel policy.

If two SoCs have same controllers but mapped at different addresses,
the ARCH maintainer would find a common place for the header rather
than making two headers with one define different and rest all same.
If another such SoC comes up the cycle starts again.(That has
apparantly happened with S3C support over the years)
Now, rather than moving around the header with definitions of what is
_only_ used by the controller driver, why not move it close to the driver?
The base addresses can(and should) always be defined in PLAT specific location.

I believe the policy is not against moving definitions of bits that are
tightly linked to the device controller esp when we seeing more and more
SoCs coming with standard of-the-shelf third party controllers.
Some drivers do have the controller bit definitions beside drivers. I could
atleast see some serial and spi drivers.

Then, I really want S3C ASoC modifications to not wait on S3C
ARCH patches appearing upstream first.

Having said that, I am willing to(not to mean I have another choice)
take word of the maintainer on the matter and first send patches to
s3c ARCH and wait until they appear in Mark's tree before submitting
the remaining patches.

Plus controllers that may be used in multiple subsystems (like the
generic serial ports a lot of SoCs have).  Some architectures also like
to keep headers for the IPs with the arch either due to preference or
due to device differences which can be hidden from the driver with arch
level compile stuff.

I personally don't mind either way for things like the I2S controller
which don't have any obvious application outside ASoC so whatever you
guys and Ben want works for me.

If the headers stay in arch/arm we can still deal with that by either
agreeing to merge them via ASoC (as has been done in the past) or by
creating a branch which is merged into both ASoC and Samsung trees.  It
is obviously less effort to avoid this, but it's not insurmountable.

It'll have got stuck in a MTA queue somewhere - often MTAs are
configured to rate limit submissions as a way of mitigating against
spam.

OK, I think that's everything.  I've not applied anything after the
header move yet due to the need for an ack from Ben.  Any patches I
didn't specifically comment on are OK.  Overall it's all good, most of
the issues are minor.

In future could you please use --no-chain-reply-to when sending patches
to avoid massively deep threads in threaded mail readers (the git
default is changing in 1.7.0 for this very reason).  It's also best to
send the cover letter first and tell git send-email that everything
should be sent in reply to that - this way people are likely to see the
cover letter before the patches.

Hi Ben,

  Could you please comment ? If need be I can resend the patches.

I'd like to see a bit of header reformatting to make them readable
if they're not already merged.

the header moves are ok by me, much prefer to see them git mv'd than
copy and rm'd.

Ok, I will move the header.
Though the original plan was to create a copy in sound/soc/s3c24xx and
render useless the one in plat-samsung/include/plat/ which could
be independently removed from your tree. That was meant to avoid
cross tree changes.

Hi Jassi,

Do you have a plan to move or create the sound/soc/samsung or others
for future Samsung SoCs?
And can you make a document which SoCs use I2S version?
e.g.,
s3c24xx use I2Sv3
s3c64xx use I2Sv3 or 4??
s5p64xx use I2Sv4
s5pc1xx use I2Sv5
and so on

How about to give name samsung-i2cvx for common use instead of cpu name?

Thank you,
Kyungmin Park

I don't have any such plan atm, but I am not against moving sound/soc/s3c24xx

I think it is better to call drivers by the first soc that is supported
in mainline. Any new soc, that has the controller reused, should be handled
by the same old driver. For example, if we have driver for s5pc100, then
let s5pc110/v210 use the same s5pc100-i2s.c That is, after soc support
in current drivers is sorted out.
