If you missed this, it means my explanations are not good enough and I need to make it clearer in the commit log/documentation. Point taken, I'll improve this for the next version. > Relooking at the bit definition, for example 'Control Number' is defined > in both 17:15 as well as 2:0, why is that.

See the documentation above. 17:15 Control Selector[5:3] 2:0 Control Selector[2:0] The 3 MSBs for into bits 17:15 of the address, and the 3 LSBs into bits 2:0 of the address. The second part is simpler for Control Number but for entities and control selectors the LSB positions don't match. Yes it's convoluted but it was well-intended: in most cases, there is a limited number of entities, control selectors, channel numbers, and putting the LSBs together in the 16-LSB of the address helps avoid reprogramming paging registers: all the addresses for a given function typically map into the same page. That said, I am not sure the optimization is that great in the end, because we end-up having to play with bits for each address. Fewer changes of the paging registers but tons of operations in the core. I wasn't around when this mapping was defined, and it is what is is now. There's hardware built based on this formula so we have to make it work. Does this clarify the usage? If you have a better suggestion that the FIELD_PREP/FIELD_GET use, I am all ears. At the end of the day, the mapping is pre-defined and we don't have any degree of freedom. What I do want is that this macro/inline function is shared by all codec drivers so that we don't have different interpretations of how the address is constructed. Thanks, -Pierre
