Hi,
we still keep the legacy vmalloc ALSA PCM helper API since there is
only a single user of it, namely, the DRM dw-hdmi bridge driver.
In the past, I attempted to change the buffer management of the
driver, but due to the lack of testing, it failed to get merged:
https://lore.kernel.org/20191210154536.29819-1-tiwai@xxxxxxx
So, this is a second try after some years of gap: now the relevant
code snippet is moved from ALSA core to dw-hdmi driver itself, and the
API functions are dropped. There should be no functional changes in
the driver.
If DRM people don't mind and give an ack, I can take the change for
dw-hdmi code together with ALSA core code drop via sound tree for
6.12.
thanks,
Takashi
