Yes, the idea in it's core is generic, but right now I can not think of a generic implementation which would work. In case of twl4030 this is how it looks like: 1. if extmute is requested 1.1. if GPIO number is not valid Use the internal MUTE functionality (HS_POPN_SET register, EXTMUTE bit) 1.2. if GPIO number is valid set the GPIO to 1 2. Execute the sequence for the power up/down 3. if extmute is requested 3.1. if GPIO number is not valid Use the internal MUTE functionality (HS_POPN_SET register, EXTMUTE bit) 3.2. if GPIO number is valid set the GPIO to 0 For other devices it could be simpler: 1. Set GPIO for mute 2. Toggle a bit in the codec 3. Clear the GPIO to unmute another device would need a sequence in step 2 instead of a single bit change. To cover all of this in a generic way is not that straight forward IMHO. > Still, the main thing here was the fact that we should be able to drop > the flag for the feature in the first place. Which flag you are referring? I can (and have dropped) the hs_extmute_disable_level flag, but separate hs_extmute, hs_extmute_gpio is needed for this device. hs_extmute tells that the board implemented some sort of HS extmute functionality. hs_extmute_gpio tells if the board is _not_ using the built in functionality, but it is using external GPIO line to enable/disable the mute. Sure I could do this: hs_extmute: if only this is set we shall use the chip built in functionality hs_extmute_gpio: if this is set we use the extmute feature but with external GPIO. But both need to be documented and supported. -- Péter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
