Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for your review!

Did you use a different modem DSP firmware? (An older one maybe?)
In my tests the newer ones seem to have QDSP6 audio completely broken,
my DB410c simply rebooted when I tried it.

I have "qdsp6" in card->components to differentiate the setups in UCM
configs. I think this is a more flexible approach than adding it to the
card model. It can be checked in UCM using ${CardComponents}.

In my setup the card "model" identifies the device in use (e.g.
smartphone X with a stereo speaker setup). This device might use the
DSP bypass (apq8016-sbc-sndcard) or QDSP6 (msm8916-qdsp6-sndcard),
depending on user preference. In UCM this is detected by checking
if ${CardComponents} contains "qdsp6" or not.

The reason for supporting both setups is that they both have their
advantages and disadvantages. The DSP must be used when the modem is
needed, but otherwise the LPASS driver tends to give more easy control
about sample rate, latency etc.

For apq8016-sbc the digital clock is controlled by msm8916-wcd-digital
through the reference in the device tree (<&gcc GCC_CODEC_DIGCODEC_CLK>).
It must be carefully managed, because it is needed for register access
in that driver.

Since QDSP6 also allows controlling this clock though LPAIF_DIG_CLK
it is a bit of a hack to bypass it using the GCC driver. However, I kept
the same setup for simplicity and it has been working just fine so far.

AFAICT in your commit you simply turn on the clock twice, once directly
using GCC and once indirectly via LPAIF_DIG_CLK in QDSP6. :-)

Theoretically it's possible to create platform devices through other
ways than the device tree (think of old board C files for example).
I agree that nobody should do that, but having this check here
at least avoids a NULL pointer dereference in this unlikely scenario.

Please let me know if I should remove it anyway, that's fine for me!

Thanks,
Stephan
