I am not sure if it's a good idea to enable this by default, the
experience of the first round showed it's risky to make assumptions on
what BIOS vendors implemented.
Can you clarify what you mean here, are you saying you don't want to
enable this new DMIC hardware support by default?
No. What I am saying is that
a) the legacy HDaudio driver does not support DMICs
b) the decision to abort the HDaudio legacy driver probe should not
be the default, since it depends on BIOS information that may be
wrong and on which I have *zero* control.
There are 4 cases really:
1. DMICs attached to PCH and BIOS/NHLT reports DMICS -> abort HDaudio
legacy probe
2. No DMICs attached to PCH and BIOS/NHLT does not report DMICs ->
continue probe and use HDAudio legacy.
3. DMICs attached to PCH and BIOS/NHLT does not report DMICs ->
broken config, we will need an option to abort the probe by force and
ignore the BIOS if you care about audio capture.
4. no DMICs attached to PCH and BIOS/NHLT reports DMICs -> broken
config, we need an option to ignore the BIOS and continue the probe.
Got it, we will do a test on a couple of machines, let us see if we
can meet 3 and 4 in reality.
I backported these 6 patches to our 5.0 kernel with the sof driver in
it, and tested on 3 machines which have dmic connected to PCH (audio
controller pciid 0x9dc8), without these 6 patches, I need to blacklist
snd_hda_intel.ko and snd_soc_skl.ko to make the sof driver work, after
backporting these 6 patches, I don't need to blacklist snd_hda_intel.ko,
but still need to blacklist snd_soc_skl.ko, otherwise the sof driver
doesn't work.
And I also tested these 6 patches on 3 machines without dmic, I don't
need to blacklist anything, the audio works well via legacy hdaudio.
So for coexistence of soc_skl and soc_sof drivers, do we have any plan?
Thanks,
Hui.
Does this help?
