Looking at other paches, they are simpler than mine.
I'll try to split it, hoping to obtain the final result.

McBSP i2s interface to external codec.

I was not sure if symmetric waveform can be a must.
In general I think it is better a non symmetric, but better approximate,
waveform.
Anyway, it is better to have the possibility to choose in my opinion,
because I have not so much experience in i2s communication.

Some tests are needed, but it requires time.
I'll try try to make some tests on evmdm365, but I'm not sure to have time
to do it.

yes, I'll change it.

looking at 2.5 Clock, Frames, and Data in
you can select MCBSP_CLKS or other input clock pins.

>From board file you can select the possibilites:
static struct snd_platform_data dm365_bmx_snd_data[] = {
        {
        },
        {
                .i2s_fast_clock = 0,
                .clk_input_pin = MCBSP_CLKS,
        },
};

If not set, it works as evm works, that is the default mode.

ok.

Can you explain better,
please?

Thx for this.
I think it could create problems, right?
I can do it in the probe, I think, similarly to other drivers.

Sorry, I don't understand, can you explain me better?

gueSsing that I have to use this example code:
        aemif_clk = clk_get(NULL, "aemif");
        if (IS_ERR(aemif_clk))
                return;

I'll do it.

freq is used to obtain clk_div.
The real problem is that, as explained in the manual, it is not clear its
value.
I hope someone can help!!

I need another check,
right!

ok

again.


Conclusion
I split patches and I do fixes above.
Than I'll submit again and wait for new info.

The freq problem is describe here below, but it is not clear to me:

>From *TMS320DM36x DMSoC Multichannel Buffered Serial Port User's Guide (Rev.
A) <http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/sprufi3a>*
2.5.3 Data Clock Generation
When the receive/transmit clock mode is set to 1 (CLK(R/X)M = 1 in the pin
control register (PCR)), the
data clocks (CLK(R/X)) are driven by the internal sample rate generator
output clock, CLKG. You can
select for the receiver and transmitter from a variety of data bit clocks
including:
• The input clock to the sample rate generator, which can be either the
internal clock source or a
dedicated external clock source via the MCBSP_CLKX, MCBSP_CLKR, or
MCBSP_CLKS pins. The
McBSP internal clock is the CPU/6 clock. See Section 2.5.3.1 for details on
the source of the McBSP
internal clock.
• The input clock source (internal clock source or external clock
MCBSP_CLKX/MCBSP_CLKR/MCBSP_CLKS) to the sample rate generator can be
divided-down by a
programmable value (CLKGDV bit in the sample rate generator register (SRGR))
to drive CLKG.
Regardless of the source to the sample rate generator, the rising edge of
CLKSRG (see Figure 5)
generates CLKG and FSG.

CPU/6 is not clear.

Raffaele
