[PATCH RFC v1 0/2] ASoC: meson: aiu: two fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Jerome,

in this series I am proposing two fixes for the "aiu" driver, used on
Amlogic Meson8, Meson8b, Meson8m2, GXBB, GXL and GXM SoCs.

The first patch is the result of me trying to understand the way how
we get the DMA buffer and address for the audio data. I'm not an expert
in terms of DMA. From what I understand we need to inform DMA core
about the limitations of the hardware. In case of AIU it's DMA address
registers only take 32 bits, so DMA core should be aware of this.

The second patch is what I could come up with to fix the infamous I2S
buffer underrun issue, also called the "machine gun noise" (MGN) bug.
After a lot of testing, debugging and comparing vendor code with the
upstream "aiu" driver I have come up with this fix. I have written down
my thoughts in the description of that patch. To be clear: these are my
thoughts, unfortunately I have no way of proving this other than asking
other people to test this patch (off-list I have already received
positive feedback along with confirmation that both 2-ch and 6-ch audio
are still working fine. Even with Kodi's menu - which is an easy way to
reproduce the MGN bug - sound output is fine with this patch).

Please let me know what you think about these patches and especially
the patch descriptions.
