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. The driving ideas are still the same, and I put them in [1] for memory. This is the second opus of the RFC. I'm intending to stop the RFC cycle here if possible and have a true PATCH v1 submission after this RFC v2 unless there is a deep design flaw uncovered. I took into account Mark's and Takashi's remarks, I hope I forgot none. All the changes should be documented in the first 2 patches mainly. I also added : - the AC97 link clock For now, bus code doesn't disable it in suspend and re-enable in resume, leaving the controller decide. I'm still pondering if for S2RAM (as opposed to runtime suspend), bus code should disable the clock. - the .h guards I'm not particularly happy with my naming even for v2, feel free to propose anything better, the codec.h is particularly ugly. - statics and namespace pollution I made more functions static, limiting further the namespace pollution. - Kconfig/Makefile layout change I get the feeling that the KConfig "select" flavor would have better been a "depends on" one. And yet I didn't find a good way to enforce it, because of the way sound/soc/codecs/Kconfig is designed, and I'm afraid to break the structure by doing a "depends on AC97_BUS_NEW" in WM9713 configuration. Let's have another review cycle, that will let me test this serie more thoroughly, especially the suspend/resume and the reset in the resume, which doesn't work, and requires me to test more deeply. I'll also test by removing the wm9713 change to see how robust the implementation is.

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. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
