The upcoming SDCA (SoundWire Device Class Audio) specification defines a hierarchical encoding to interface with Class-defined capabilities. The specification is not yet accessible to the general public but this information is released with explicit permission from the MIPI Board to avoid delays with SDCA support on Linux platforms. A block of 64 MBytes of register addresses are allocated to SDCA controls, starting at address 0x40000000. The 26 LSBs which identify individual controls are set based on the following variables: - Function Number. An SCDA device can be split in up to 8 independent Functions. Each of these Functions is described in the SDCA specification, e.g. Smart Amplifier, Smart Microphone, Simple Microphone, Jack codec, HID, etc. - Entity Number. Within each Function, an Entity is an identifiable block. Up to 127 Entities are connected in a pre-defined graph (similar to USB), with Entity0 reserved for Function-level configurations. In contrast to USB, the SDCA spec pre-defines Function Types, topologies, and allowed options, i.e. the degree of freedom is not unlimited to limit the possibility of errors in descriptors leading to software quirks. - Control Selector. Within each Entity, the SDCA specification defines 48 controls such as Mute, Gain, AGC, etc, and 16 implementation defined ones. Some Control Selectors might be used for low-level platform setup, and other exposed to applications and users. Note that the same Control Selector capability, e.g. Latency control, might be located at different offsets in different entities, the Control Selector mapping is Entity-specific. - Control Number. Some Control Selectors allow channel-specific values to be set, with up to 64 channels allowed. This is mostly used for volume control. - Current/Next values. Some Control Selectors are 'Dual-Ranked'. Software may either update the Current value directly for immediate effect. Alternatively, software may write into the 'Next' values and update the SoundWire 1.2 'Commit Groups' register to copy 'Next' values into 'Current' ones in a synchronized manner. This is different from bank switching which is typically used to change the bus configuration only. - MBQ. the Multi-Byte Quantity bit is used to provide atomic updates when accessing more that one byte, for example a 16-bit volume control would be updated consistently, the intermediate values mixing old MSB with new LSB are not applied. These 6 parameters are used to build a 32-bit address to access the desired Controls. Because of address range, paging is required, but the most often used parameter values are placed in the lower 16 bits of the address. This helps to keep the paging registers constant while updating Controls for a specific Device/Function.
