This series introduces the Qualcomm Audio Interface (QAIF) driver for
the Shikra audio platform.


Hardware IP Overview
====================
QAIF (Qualcomm Audio Interface) is a fully configurable DMA-based audio
subsystem used to transmit and receive audio data over serial audio
interfaces (PCM, TDM, MI2S) and to provide a DMA interface for internal
codec connections. It manages two independent data paths:

  Unified Audio Interface (AIF): Serialises and deserialises PCM audio
  between system memory and external serial audio peripherals. Each
  interface supports up to 8 independent data lanes, each configurable
  as TX (speaker) or RX (mic). All lanes of an interface share a single
  bit clock and frame sync. The AUD_INTFa hardware block controls the
  serial protocol -- sync source (master/slave), sync mode (short/long
  PCM, TDM, MI2S), sync delay and inversion, slot and sample widths,
  active slot masks, lane enable/direction, mono/stereo mode and
  full-cycle path support for long chip-to-chip connections.

  Codec DMA Interface (CIF): Provides a parallel DMA interface to the
  internal Bolero digital codec. The RDDMA path carries playback data
  to Bolero and the WRDMA path carries capture data from Bolero. Each
  channel has an INTF_CFG register controlling the active channel enable
  mask, frame-sync selection, frame-sync delay, frame-sync output gating,
  dynamic clock gating and 16-bit packing/unpacking.

  DMA Engine: Read DMAs (RDDMA) fetch audio from DDR/TCM/LPM into a
  shared on-chip SRAM latency buffer (SHRAM) and drain it to the
  interface. Write DMAs (WRDMA) collect data from the interface into
  SHRAM and write it to memory. Each DMA channel owns a private SHRAM
  region. Two QSB master ports (QXM0 and QXM1) provide the memory
  fabric. Burst sizes of 1/2/4/8/16 beats and up to 4 outstanding
  transactions per DMA are supported.

  Execution Environments (EE): Resources (DMAs, audio interfaces,
  interface groups) are partitioned among up to 5 EEs via map registers.
  Each EE receives an independent interrupt output. The interrupt
  hierarchy has two levels: a summary register identifies the event class
  (DMA period, underflow/overflow, error response, AUD_INTF
  underflow/overflow, group done, rate detector, VFR), and per-resource
  status registers identify the specific channel and event type.

  Interface Grouping (Bonding): Multiple AIF and CIF interfaces can be
  bonded into a group to start synchronously and align their DMA period
  interrupts within half a frame duration using the RDDMA padding feature.

  Rate Detector: Two rate detector blocks measure the frequency of
  incoming frame sync or word select signals and generate interrupts on
  rate change, undetected rate or sync timeout.

Software Design
===============
The driver follows the standard ALSA SoC split:

  qaif-cpu.c: CPU DAI component. Manages clocks, initialises regmap
  bitfield handles for all DMA and interface control registers, implements
  DAI ops (startup/shutdown/hw_free/hw_params/trigger) for both AIF and
  CIF paths, registers an of_xlate_dai_name callback so that sound-dai
  references using non-sequential DAI IDs resolve correctly, and parses
  per-interface TDM/MI2S configuration from DT child nodes.

  qaif-platform.c: PCM platform component. Handles DMA buffer allocation
  (dma_alloc_pages()), PCM ops (open/close/hw_params/prepare/trigger/
  pointer/mmap/copy), two-level IRQ dispatch with period-elapsed
  notification, and component suspend/resume across power collapse.

  qaif-shikra.c: Shikra SoC-specific variant descriptor. Provides all
  register field definitions, DMA-to-DAI index maps, SHRAM geometry,
  clock names and the DAI driver array. This abstraction keeps the core
  driver portable across future QAIF integrations.

  qaif.h / qaif-reg.h: Shared data structures, constants and the complete
  MMIO register address map consumed by both the CPU and platform drivers.

  common.c/h: This series also adds asoc_qcom_of_xlate_dai_name(), a shared
  helper that resolves a sound-dai phandle argument to a DAI name by
  searching the component DAI driver array by ID. Both lpass-cpu.c and
  qaif-cpu.c use thin wrappers around this helper, replacing duplicate
  private implementations.

The series is split by functionality to aid review -- register map and
data structures first, then CIF ops, AIF ops, probe infrastructure, PCM
ops, IRQ handling and finally the Shikra variant glue.

Tested on Shikra with 48 kHz stereo MI2S playback and capture over the
Audio Interface Zero (AIF0) and Bolero CDC DMA RX/TX paths.
