For DPCM links, the order of hw_param() call depends on the sequence of
BE connection to FE. It is possible that one BE link can provide clock
to another BE link. In such cases consumer BE DAI, to get the rate set
by provider BE DAI, can use the standard clock functions only if
provider
has already set the appropriate rate during its hw_param() stage.
Above sentence seems to suggest that consumer can set clock only after
provider has started, but code in this patch seems to do it the other
way around?
This patch makes provider calls to happen first.
Presently the order is fixed and does not depend on the provider and
consumer relationships. So the clock rates need to be known ahead of
hw_param() stage.
This patch tweaks the hw_param() order by connecting the provider BEs
late to a FE. With this hw_param() calls for provider BEs happen first
and then followed by consumer BEs. The consumers can use the standard
clk_get_rate() function to get the rate of the clock they depend on.
I'm bit confused by " With this hw_param() calls for provider BEs happen
first and then followed by consumer BEs. "
Aren't consumers started first and provider second? Code and previous
sentence "connecting the provider BEs late to a FE" confuse me.
The dpcm_be_connect() call adds the new connection to a list using
list_add() which would be a stack. When dpcm_be_connect() is deferred
for provider BEs, these occupy top of the stack. When operating on this
list during hw_params() stage, the provider call happen first. Is this
part clear now? I can rephrase the comments/commit message for more clarity.
Overall I don't exactly understand correct order of events after reading
commit message and patch...
Consider there are two BEs (BE1 and BE2) and "BE1<==>BE2" can be an I2S
interface for example. I am trying to get following sequence.
1. When BE1 is provider and BE2 is consumer, the call sequence expected
is : hw_params(BE1) -> hw_params(BE2).
2. When BE2 is provider and BE1 is consumer, the call sequence expected
is : hw_params(BE2) -> hw_params(BE1).
Idea is to make use of standard clock functions for rate info. Provider
can use clk_set_rate() and consumer can clk_get_rate().

TODO:
* The FE link is not considered in this. For Tegra it is fine to
call hw_params() for FE at the end. But systems, which want to
apply
this tweak for FE as well, have to extend this tweak to FE.
* Also only DPCM is considered here. If normal links require such
tweak, it needs to be extended.

Not sure about this define, it adds unnecessary limitation on max clock
number, can't you just run same loop twice while checking
defer_dpcm_be_connect() first time and !defer_dpcm_be_connect() second
time? defer_dpcm_be_connect() function name may need a bit of adjustment
(rtd_is_clock_consumer() maybe?), but it gets rid of the limit.
or do something like following instead of copy pasting loop twice:
rename original dpcm_add_paths() to _dpcm_add_paths() and add additional
argument and check somewhere inline:
static int dpcm_add_paths(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe, int stream,
struct snd_soc_dapm_widget_list **list_, bool clock_consumer)
{
...
// with renamed defer_dpcm_be_connect
if (clock_consumer ^ !rtd_is_clock_consumer())
continue;
...
}
static int dpcm_add_paths(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe, int stream,
struct snd_soc_dapm_widget_list **list_)
{
int ret;
/* start clock consumer BEs */
ret = _dpcm_add_paths(*fe, stream, **list_, true);
if (ret)
return ret;
/* start clock provider BEs */
ret = _dpcm_add_paths(*fe, stream, **list_, false);
return ret;
}
Thanks for the suggestion. I will check if loop copy can be avoided.

Let's stick to ALSA terminology, hw_params() please, same in commit
message.
Sorry about this. I will fix it.
