[PATCH] ASoC: cs42xx8: Remove S32_LE in format list

[S.j. Wang]

cs42xx8 is a 24-bit A/D and 24-bit D/A device, so the S32_LE
should not be in the supported format list.

Is the device capable of accepting 32-bit samples, even if it downgrades 
it to 24-bit internally?  If so, then maybe SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_LE 
should stay.

Yes,  the S32_LE can be accepted by device, it seems like that the device only
Use the upper 24bit, so the S32_LE result is same as S24_LE,  do you think the
S32_LE should be remained?

This is for cs42xx8 codec driver, but its maintainers aren't
seemly in To/Cc list. Please run ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl
for it and resend.

It would be a mistake to remove S32_LE from the format list.

If you removed that, then we wouldn't be able to do 32 bit native 
playback - it would force users to go through an ALSA plugin.

If you look at the cs42448 data sheet for example, the I2S and TDM bus 
uses a 32 bit word size. For that reason, native S32_LE format is 
handled by the codec. While the codec only uses the 24 MSBs, the I2S bus 
is 32 bit.

This case is covered by S24_LE I think.  The S32_LE means the data is 32bit and slot width
Is 32bit, this is not in data sheet.

The problem is that if you have 32-bit samples in your audio file, and 
you want to play them, then software (e.g. alsalib) will need to convert 
the audio to 24-bit before sending it to hardware.  This is unnecessary 
because the hardware can "convert" the sample to 24-bit automatically by 
ignoring the lower 8 bits.

I think a lot of codecs do this already.

Ok. Thanks for reviewing, I will drop this patch.
