Implement support for Lynxpoint and Wildcat Point AudioDSP. Catpt solution deprecates existing sound/soc/intel/haswell which is removed in the following series. This cover-letter is followed by 'Developer's deep dive' message schedding light on catpt's key concepts and areas addressed. Due to high range of errors and desynchronization from recommendations set by Windows solution, re-write came as a lower-cost solution compared to refactoring /haswell/ with several series of patches. Special thanks go to Marcin Barlik and Piotr Papierkowski for sharing their LPT/WPT AudioDSP architecture expertise as well as helping backtrack its historical background. My thanks go to Amadeusz Slawinski for reviews and improvements proposed on and off the internal list. Most of internal diff below is his contribution. Krzysztof Hejmowski helped me setup my own Xtensa environment and recompile LPT/WPT FW binary sources what sped up the development greatly. This would not have been possible without help from these champions, especially considering how quickly the catpt was written: 2 weeks features, 3 weeks optimizations. Thank you. Userspace-exposed members are compatible with what is exposed by deprecated solution as well as FW binary being re-used thus no harm is done. The only visible differences are: the newly added 'Loopback Mute' kcontrol and volume support extending to quad from stereo. On top of fixing erros and design flows, catpt also adds module reload, dynamic SRAM memory allocation during PCM runtime and exposes missing userspace API: 'Loopback Mute' kcontrol, quad volume controls and sysfs fw-version entries. Event tracing is provided to easy solution debugging. Following are not included in this update and are scheduled as later addition: - fw logging - module (library) support Note: LPT power up/down sequences might get aligned with WPT once enough testing is done as capabilities are shared for both DSPs. Note #2: Both LPT and WPT power up/down sequences may get optimized in future updates as thanks to help from the Windows team, most of nuances behind why/what/when in regard to hw registers have been backtracked and reviewed again. Link to developer's deep dive message: https://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg113563.html Changes in v4: - fixed compilation with i386 kconfig (conflicting names) - streamlined naming for SHIM and PCI registers to match SSP ones (SHIM_REG -> SHIM) - catpt_component_probe removed and kcontrols again initializzed statically via snd_kcontrol_new array: this is to remove kctl->id.device shenanigans - renamed catpt_set_ctlvol to catpt_set_dspvol - function name wasn't matching its purpose
I see nothing more, so once again: Reviewed-by: Amadeusz Sławiński <amadeuszx.slawinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
