[RFC PATCH] ASoC: wm8960: Use physical width for bclk

[Daniel Baluta]

bclk is derived from sysclk with the help of bclk_divs. Anyhow, for
S20_3LE format there is no bclk_divs that could be used to derive
an exact bclk.

We can fix this by using storage size instead the exact
number of bits of the sample when computing bclk.

With this approach we can play S20_3LE encoded files at the cost of
some unused BCLK cycles for S20_3LE and S24_LE.

Would quite like to see Mark's thoughts on this. Feels a bit to
me (although I am not certain) like we are solving the problem in
the wrong place, isn't this really setting the desired BCLK and
then in wm8960_configure_clocking we should set the lowest BCLK
we can that is greater than or equal to the desired.

Thanks,
Charles

Is there any standard way of doing this in ASoC? Couldn't find any
example where the bitclk is relaxed to lowest value greater than the
desired one.

I have prepared some patches with this approach, you can look at them
here:

http://pastebin.com/0xW0E82N - some refactoring of sysclk search
http://pastebin.com/QRt1UT7Q - relax bitclk value

Exactly, this is the wrong fix in the wrong place - if this is something
we want to do we should be doing it in the shared functions so all
CODECs get the same behaviour but really I think Charles' suggestion
makes more sense.

I see your point. Thanks a lot for feedback.

I already have an implementation for Charles' suggestion.
 Will send the patches asap.

thanks,
Daniel.
