Hi Russell: thks for your replay, actually you also have send me those dw-hdmi-audio.c patches, and I also agree it's an beautiful way to make hdmi-audio works. Beside, I try to reuse it into our platform, and actually the system have created the DW_HDMI sound card successfully, but i cannot play any sound with this sound card. After dump the registers, I found the part of "Audio DMA Registers" cannot write and always read with 0x00. So I searching the document "Designware Core HDMI Transmitter Controller Databook", and found that "Audio DMA Registers" only present when the hardware configuration parameter AUDIO_IF is set to AHBAUDDMA. Than I communicate with our IC colleagues, they told me that our cpu rk3288 only support two way to transmit audio data( I2S & SPDIF ), in that way we do not support AHB_DMA, it's very sad, and this it why i give up this way, also it's my bad that i should replay to u first in the before mail.
