I tried to find some datasheets for other vendors, but failed to find them.
So I don't know how they implement this part.
Ratio modification on i.MX is to modify the configured ratio.
For example, the input rate is 44.1kHz, output rate is 48kHz,
configured ratio = 441/480, the ratio modification is to modify
the fractional part of (441/480) with small steps. because the
input clock or output clock has drift in the real hardware.
The ratio modification is signed value, it is added to configured
ratio.
In our case, we have some sysfs interface for user to get the
clock from input audio device and output audio device, user
need to calculate the ratio dynamically , then configure the
modification to driver
May be other vendors has similar implementation. or make
the definition be generic is an option.
