It all started in the pxa device-tree submission here : https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/25/965 It will be maintained in : git fetch https://github.com/rjarzmik/linux.git work/ac97 And now it transformed into this RFC, which would bring a ground for AC'97 devices closer to the linux device/driver model. This is just an RFC to see if we understand each other Mark. Amongst the driving ideas behind this RFC : - use device/driver model for AC'97 device/driver binding is based on vendor_id{1,2} - use auto-probe of the AC'97 bus to enumerate codecs and create devices - be compatible with previous platform_data model for codecs => this enables a smooth transition, where a codec (here wm9713) can be used either through platform_device or automatic discovery - struct snd_ac97 is not used This structure is really heavy, and doesn't represent an AC97 device, but rather an AC'97 codec internals IIUC. I think it's right place would be in include/sound/ac97/codec.h. This is also a problem for regmap adherence, hence the include/sound/ac97/compat.h. - a new AC'97 bus Kconfig is created This was done for a smooth transition ... let's see if it's a good idea. - split the AC'97 into : - the codec - the digital controller - the bus Amongst the things that are not all touched yet : - ac97_codec.c The generic AC'97 codec in sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c has really a lot features, which are not at all PCI related. They could be transfered to sound/ac97, without the pci specific field. => this deserves a deep ahead thinking, which I'll do if the current approach is accepted by the communauty. The most important patch is 2/7 "ALSA: ac97: add an ac97 bus". This is the main evaluation point for the serie, the others are here so that I can test it all. Well, this is a long term effort, which might need a complete rewrite according to the comments it'll get. Let's expose it for comments and see how I can progress with it. Cheers. -- Robert Robert Jarzmik (7): ALSA: ac97: split out the generic ac97 registers ALSA: ac97: add an ac97 bus ASoC: wm9713: add ac97 new bus support ASoC: pxa: switch to new ac97 bus support ARM: pxa: mioa701 remove wm9713 from platform devices ASoC: mioa701_wm9713: convert to new ac97 bus ASoC: add new ac97 bus support arch/arm/mach-pxa/mioa701.c | 1 - include/sound/ac97/codec.h | 98 ++++++++++++ include/sound/ac97/compat.h | 21 +++ include/sound/ac97/controller.h | 39 +++++ include/sound/ac97/regs.h | 262 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/sound/ac97_codec.h | 239 +---------------------------- include/sound/pxa2xx-lib.h | 14 +- sound/Kconfig | 7 + sound/Makefile | 1 + sound/ac97/Kconfig | 9 ++ sound/ac97/Makefile | 5 + sound/ac97/ac97_core.h | 10 ++ sound/ac97/bus.c | 330 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ sound/ac97/codec.c | 15 ++ sound/ac97/snd_ac97_compat.c | 104 +++++++++++++ sound/arm/Kconfig | 1 - sound/arm/pxa2xx-ac97-lib.c | 31 ++-- sound/soc/Kconfig | 4 + sound/soc/codecs/wm9713.c | 62 +++++++- sound/soc/pxa/Kconfig | 4 +- sound/soc/pxa/mioa701_wm9713.c | 4 +- sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-ac97.c | 12 +- 22 files changed, 1000 insertions(+), 273 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/sound/ac97/codec.h create mode 100644 include/sound/ac97/compat.h create mode 100644 include/sound/ac97/controller.h create mode 100644 include/sound/ac97/regs.h create mode 100644 sound/ac97/Kconfig create mode 100644 sound/ac97/Makefile create mode 100644 sound/ac97/ac97_core.h create mode 100644 sound/ac97/bus.c create mode 100644 sound/ac97/codec.c create mode 100644 sound/ac97/snd_ac97_compat.c -- 2.1.4 _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
