In initialization, audio driver will call functions get_eld() and etc. But at that time, audio driver may not know whether it is DP MST or not. In the original function get_saved_enc(), if it is DP MST, it will set the pipe to the correct value, otherwise, it will be set -1. Although audio driver can get the knowledge whether it is in DP MST mode or not by reading the codec register. But it will drop performance each time it call the get_eld and other functions. As gfx driver can easily know whether it is in DP MST mode or not. I would like to extend the get_saved_enc() function to handle the situation that audio driver still send the device id info even it is in DP mode. In this situation, get_saved_enc() will return the correct intel_encoder instead of panic. > >I also look at the call sites of get_saved_enc and wonder why they have >different checks for the return values. Also patch 2/2 only modifies one of >them, not both. Why? The 2 check should be similar? In sync_audio_rate(), it calls get_saved_enc() and checked base.crtc, I think it is because it will use base.crtc later. And it will check the intel_encoder->type because this function only need handle HDMI/DP/DP MST situation to setup the audio config.
