Commit Message

Elinor Montmasson May 15, 2024, 1:54 p.m. UTC
Add documentation about new dts bindings following new support
for compatible "fsl,imx-audio-generic".

Some CPU DAI don't require a real audio codec. The new compatible
"fsl,imx-audio-generic" allows using the driver with codec drivers
SPDIF DIT and SPDIF DIR as dummy codecs.
It also allows using not pre-configured audio codecs which
don't require specific control through a codec driver.

The new dts properties give the possibility to set some parameters
about the CPU DAI usually set through the codec configuration.

This description (and the code) don't feel like they're actually generic
- they're clearly specific to the bidrectional S/PDIF case.  I'd expect
something called -generic to cope with single CODECs as well as double,
and not to have any constraints on what those are.

I proposed, in an reply of the v3 patch series to Krzysztof Kozlowski,
the compatible "fsl,imx-audio-no-codec" instead of "generic".
Krzysztof thought it was too generic, but it would convey more clearly
that it is for cases without codec driver.
Would this other compatible string be more appropriate ?

Best regards,

No.  There is very clearly a CODEC here, it physically exists, we can
point at it on the board and it has a software representation.  Your
code is also very specific to the two CODEC case.

This works, but is an unusual pattern...

You can handle the dependency like this instead:

           dai-tdm-slot-width: false
           dai-tdm-slot-num: false


And then you don't need the definitions.

Then maybe it's not be a good idea to make this compatible generic
for this contribution.
The original intention is to bring support for the S/PDIF,
so maybe the contribution should focus on this use case?
In that case, would changing the compatible for "fsl,imx-audio-spdif-card"
be acceptable?
"fsl,imx-audio-spdif" is already used for the `imx-spdif.c`
which does not use the ASRC.

Why not just use the existing compatible - why would someone not want to
be able to use the ASRC if it's available in their system?

That's true but it will be a problem if both `fsl-asoc-card.c` and
`imx-spdif.c` drivers have the same compatible, and they don't
have the same DT properties.

It would avoid having duplicate drivers yes, I will do this for the v5 of this contribution.
Thank you for the review.
