Hi,
I think you should try to get this in sync with the work Jean-Francois is
currently doing[1]. Having the HDMI transmitter register a CODEC device is
definitely the right approach, compared to the rather 'interesting'
constraints stuff you do in patch 4.
Oh, Jean-Francois's patches are now out. I'll take those into use, but I am
afraid it still does not save me from the constraint stuff.
The most complex piece of code comes from limited sample-rate availability,
which is coming Beaglebone-Black desing (available i2s master clock), not
from the HDMI encoder itself. It does not help with the stereo only
limitation either, because it comes from the one wire only audio data
connection on BBB.
Support for S16_LE could maybe be added if the tda998x specific codec would
fiddle with CTS_N predivider-setting (K select) according to the used sample
width. But it appears Cobox plays all the sample formats fine without this
change, so the question is if playing around with CTS_N predivider would
break already working support there (something to be tested).
The ASoC core will set the constraints for the audio format/rate to the
intersection of what is supported by the CODEC and the CPU DAI. So if the
limitation comes from the CPU DAI the constraints should be applied there
and not in the machine driver. Similar if the tda998x only supports 32 bit
samples it should advertise this and the compound card will only support 32
bit samples.
Yes. I know. But these limitations come from the run time setup of the
audio serial bus and those details are not available to the cpu dai at
the register time.
If more of the McASP configuration data would be moved to DT, instead of
giving it in set_sysclk, set_fmt, etc. calls it would be possible for
the driver code produce more accurate constraints at register time.
However that would change McASP driver a lot and would possibly break
some of the legacy support.
Best regards,
Jyri
