Whilst I applaud removing the old driver I do NOT support adding yet
*another* Intel audio DSP driver. Our goal is to remove DSP drivers and
unify under one codebase (and this was discussed in Lyon last year at
the audio Miniconf).
Please take all these good improvements and add them into the SOF
driver.
Please also remember that we are adding an IPC abstraction layer into
the SOF driver so it can cope with multiple IPC versions. You are most
welcome to help in this effort.
Presented catpt is created as a solution to existing problems reported
by clients and users for WPT platforms. It is not "yet another" DSP
driver but an update to an existing one - due to high range of problems
found when testing it, catpt came as a lower-cost solution and /haswell/
is being removed soon after. So, the status quo is maintained - single
driver for LPT/WPT architecture.
Please don't use 'our goal' term, it's misplaced: it was agreed on
several occasions that older DSP platforms remain with closed firmware
and are to be supported with existing DSP drivers.
SOF FW does not support BDW and instead is tasked with support of newer
platforms. Neither SOF FW team nor Chrome support team agreed with WPT
being moved out of closed firmware. Please, speak with management first
before writing statements saying otherwise.
I don't see your input for any of the patches. Internal heads-up has
been given. No review for either internal or upstream patchsets.
Afterall, you were the author of original /haswell/ and your input could
have proved important in speeding the progress and yielding even better
results to our clients.
As you've given no technical points for denying LPT/WPT improvements and
your statement disagrees with management's decision, message shall be
discarded and ignored for the rest of the upstream process. Further
discussion will be taken off this list.
Mark, Takashi and others,
I'm sorry for this inconvenience, such actions do not represent One
Intel and Truth & Transparency which Intel is committed to stand by.
