I have been wondering why DPCM needs special flag (= dpcm_playback/capture) to use it. Below is the history why it was added to ASoC. (A) In beginning, there was no dpcm_xxx flag on ASoC. It checks channels_min for DPCM, same as current non-DPCM. Let's name it as "validation check" here. if (rtd->dai_link->dynamic || rtd->dai_link->no_pcm) { if (cpu_dai->driver->playback.channels_min) playback = 1; if (cpu_dai->driver->capture.channels_min) capture = 1; (B) commit 1e9de42f4324 ("ASoC: dpcm: Explicitly set BE DAI link supported stream directions") force to use dpcm_xxx flag on DPCM. According to this commit log, this is because "Some BE dummy DAI doesn't set channels_min for playback/capture". But we don't know which DAI is it, and not know why it can't/don't have channels_min. Let's name it as "no_chan_DAI" here. According to the code and git-log, it is used as DCPM-BE and is CPU DAI. I think the correct solution was set channels_min on "no_chan_DAI" side, not update ASoC framework side. But everything is under smoke today. if (rtd->dai_link->dynamic || rtd->dai_link->no_pcm) { playback = rtd->dai_link->dpcm_playback; capture = rtd->dai_link->dpcm_capture; (C) commit 9b5db059366a ("ASoC: soc-pcm: dpcm: Only allow playback/capture if supported") checks channels_min (= validation check) again. Because DPCM availability was handled by dpcm_xxx flag at that time, but some Sound Card set it even though it wasn't available. Clearly there's a contradiction here. I think correct solution was update Sound Card side instead of ASoC framework. Sound Card side will be updated to handle this issue later (commit 25612477d20b ("ASoC: soc-dai: set dai_link dpcm_ flags with a helper")) if (rtd->dai_link->dynamic || rtd->dai_link->no_pcm) { ... playback = rtd->dai_link->dpcm_playback && snd_soc_dai_stream_valid(cpu_dai, ...); capture = rtd->dai_link->dpcm_capture && snd_soc_dai_stream_valid(cpu_dai, ...); This (C) patch should have broken "no_chan_DAI" which doesn't have channels_min, but there was no such report during this 4 years. Possibilities case are as follows - No one is using "no_chan_DAI" - "no_chan_DAI" is no longer exist : was removed ? - "no_chan_DAI" is no longer exist : has channels_min ? Because of these history, this dpcm_xxx is unneeded flag today. But because we have been used it for 10 years since (B), it may have been used differently. For example some DAI available both playback/capture, but it set dpcm_playback flag only, in this case dpcm_xxx flag is used as availability limitation. We can use playback_only flag instead in this case, but it is very difficult to find such DAI today. Let's add grace time to remove dpcm_playback/capture flag. This patch don't use dpcm_xxx flag anymore, and indicates warning to use xxx_only flag if both playback/capture were available but using only one of dpcm_xxx flag, and not using xxx_only flag.
