The patch ASoC: soc.h: add explanation of legacy/modern style of dai_link has been applied to the asoc tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 62bc79d35ebb55451112979babea864975cfd16d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2019 11:20:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: soc.h: add explanation of legacy/modern style of dai_link Current ALSA SoC is assuming 1 CPU 1 Platform (= DMA) style system. Because of this background, it is directly using xxx_name / xxx_of_node / xxx_dai_name on dai_link. Let's call it as legacy style here. More complex style system like multi CPU multi Platform (= DMA) will coming. To supporting it, we can use snd_soc_dai_link_component on dai_link. Let's call it as modern style here. But current ALSA SoC can't support it so far. Thus, we need to have multi CPU / multi Codec / multi Platform style in the future on ALSA SoC. Currently we already have multi Codec support. Platform is starting to use modern style on dai_link, but still style only. Multi Platform is not yet implemented. And we still don't have multi CPU support on ALSA SoC, and not have modern style either. Currently, if driver is using legacy style Codec/Platform, it will be converted to modern style on soc-core. This means, we are using glue code for legacy vs modern style so far on ALSA SoC. We can fully switch to modern style on all drivers if ALSA SoC supported modern style for CPU, and then, legacy style code will be removed from ALSA SoC. Untile then, we need to keep both legacy/modern style and its glue code.
