There exist several display technologies and standards that support audio as
well. Hence, it is relevant to update the DSS device driver to provide an audio
interface that may be used by an audio or any other driver interested in the
functionality.
The DSS audio functions are intended to be used as follows:
The audio_enable function is intended to prepare the relevant IP for playback
(e.g., enabling an audio FIFO, taking out of reset some IP, etc).
While the display may support audio, it is possible that for certain
configurations audio is not supported (e.g., an HDMI display using a VESA video
timing). The audio_detect function is intended to query whether the current
configuration of the display supports audio.
The audio_config function is intended to configure all the relevant audio
parameters of the display. In order to make the function independent of any DSS
device driver or IP, it takes an IEC-60958 channel status word struct as well
as a CEA-861 audio infoframe struct. At the moment, this should be enough to
support HDMI and DisplayPort, as both are based on CEA-861 and IEC-60958.
The audio_start function is intended to effectively start/stop audio playback
after the configuration has taken place.
Please note that asound.h is #included only to pass the relevant data
structures to the DSS device driver. The DSS device driver should
not link to any ALSA function as DSS and ALSA are built in separate modules.
