[PATCH 0/4] Getting rid of the reset controller in i2s-tdm

[Nicolas Frattaroli <frattaroli.nicolas@gmail.com>]

Hello,

after some discussion with Heiko on IRC, he has admitted to me
that the rockchip,cru property, and its corresponding half a reset
controller in the driver, is weighing heavily on his mind.

The background is that if the lrck only uses one clock for both rx
and tx direction, then according to the downstream driver, the rx
and tx resets should be asserted at roughly the same time to keep
things in sync.

Since there is no existing kernel way of doing this, the driver
would manually write to the CRU's registers to achieve this,
violating abstractions.

We've agreed that an atomic bulk reset API would be the best way to
achieve what it does in a clean fashion. The details of such an API
have yet to be worked out by me, but as it turns out, this is not
a pressing need.

During my investigation, I noticed that I can simply drop the
synchronised reset for now and assert the two resets manually one
after the other, and deassert them in the same manner.

For the case I care about, which is audio playback, this seems to
work just fine. Should someone actually find a case where this
causes a problem, it should be fixed with an atomic bulk reset API.

Patch 1 removes the direct CRU writing stuff from the i2s-tdm driver.

Patch 2 drops the rockchip,cru property from the bindings; they have
not yet been in a kernel release, so as far as I know, we can still
change them with no regard for backwards compatibility.

Patch 3 adds the rk356x i2s1 node without the rockchip,cru property.

Patch 4 adds the analog audio output on Quartz64, included here for
Heiko's convenience.

Regards,
Nicolas Frattaroli
