Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: tda998x: add a codec to the HDMI transmitter

This patch adds a CODEC function to the NXP TDA998x HDMI transmitter.

The CODEC handles both I2S and S/PDIF inputs and does dynamic input
switch in the TDA998x I2C driver on start/stop audio streaming.

Hi Jean-Francois

How well will this work with Russell concept of a front end and two
backends? Can you uses your CODEC twice, once with the I2S backend and
a second time with the S/PDIF backend?

Hi Andrew,

The TDA998x CODEC has two functions:
- it sets the possible formats and rates when the screen connects and
- it sets the audio input port when audio streaming starts.

I tested this CODEC with both DAPM and DPCM. If the audio subsystem
asks for streaming on both I2S and S/PDIF, only the last call is served
(this depends on the order of the DAI links in the audio card creation
table).

As I told to Russell, DPCM just asks for a 'system' DAI (front-end),
but it also asks for some additional code in the kirkwood DMA driver
because all PCMs are activated on streaming start.

Well, as far as I'm concerned right now, it's for Mark to sort out this
situation, and tell us what he wants to do with the Kirkwood stuff. I
suspect he's keeping quiet because he doesn't care about it.

Given that he's the one with the knowledge of DPCM, and he's the maintainer
of ASoC, he has the ultimate responsibility for sorting out this and
giving direction as to how he wants to proceed.

As I understand it though, my solution is the full and proper DPCM solution,
and I believe that what's currently in mainline is not a DPCM solution.

Mark needs to correct that, because he is one of the few who knows this
stuff.

Well, that and the general level of stress around the support for these
boards in general.

That's right, from what I remember your last set of patches looked like
it was pretty much there in terms of the code for the CPU. Liam's
obviously the most in depth expert with DPCM but he's incredibly snowed
under with work right now.

I'd expect this to return an error for the busy DAI rather than just
silently ignore it failing to start or (better) implement some control
to let the user select which of the DAIs is active.

Mark,

This is not an error. If the audio subsystem (DPCM, not the user)
chooses to activate both I2S and S/PDIF, this means the HDMI audio may
be taken either from I2S or from S/PDIF: both inputs have the right
format and rate.

Your board happens to only be able to present the same input on both I2S
and S/PDIF but that might not apply to other boards, they may be able to
route different signals to each which would present a practical problem.

If there are two different streamss on I2S and S/PDIF, and if the audio
subsystem wants to route these streams to the same connector (widget
'hdmi-out'), then, somewhere, there should be a software or a design
bug. No?

Anyway, the tda998x cannot know if the double route is wanted or not.

Yes, which is why the driver shouldn't silently ignore the situation.

It doesn't need to know, it just needs to identify something it can't
support either by providing a way to pick which interface is used or by
rejecting the second interface.

OK. no problem, I can do that: only the first stream is switched and
the second is rejected.

But, this means that there will be a lot of errors when DPCM will be
used, because, in most cases for the Cubox (kirkwood audio + tda998x),
both ways I2S and S/PDIF will be activated at the same time for a
single stream (you may note that the routes from the second input
cannot be blocked by the CODEC after it received the first input,
because these routes have already been computed).

This is /very/ easy to solve on the Cubox, if only you would listen
to me - I've stated many times that I2S should not be used there.

Just because the hardware is wired up with both the SPDIF connected
and the I2S connected, it does *not* mean that we have to wire them
both up in software.

Indeed, *everything* works with just SPDIF. The same is not true of
I2S. So, what we do for the Cubox is we just wire up SPDIF in software
and be done with it - we then get a fully functional setup. So using
I2S on the Cubox is mostly pointless - unless you wish to use I2S for
testing purposes.

Let me also point out that adding your changes - including the addition
of this codec patch - explicitly deny the possibility of:
* using compressed audio streams via the optical SPDIF out socket
* using compressed audio streams over HDMI
* using audio rates and formats not supported by the attached HDMI
device via the optical SPDIF socket.

These are serious issues which thus far you have so far failed to
respond on. People who use the Cubox as a media platform rather
than (presumably) just a music jukebox want things like compressed
audio out and SPDIF out to work.

Look, one reason to use the optical socket is because you want to
push out a stream at (eg) 96kHz to your audio system, but your TV
doesn't support it. With your approach, you explicitly block that
because the TDA998x codec assocated with the Kirkwood CPU DAI
refuses to allow that sample rate. Fine, if the attached device
does not support that rate, then the right thing to do may be to
disable audio transmission over HDMI, but with the Cubox hardware,
limiting the sample rates is totally the wrong solution.

I think that you did not look at my code.

Both S/PDIF and I2S work with the TDA998x. It is a choice of the audio
subsystem to do this choice, not Russell King. If you want only S/PDIF,
it is easy: just declare the S/PDIF DAIs, on both sides, source
(kirkwood) and sinks (tda998x and S/PDIF):

dai-link@1 { /* S/PDIF - HDMI */
cpu {
sound-dai = <&audio1 1>;
};
,codec {
sound-dai = <&hdmi 1>;
};
};

dai-link@2 { /* S/PDIF - S/PDIF */
cpu {
sound-dai = <&audio1 1>;
};
codec {
sound-dai = <&spdif_codec>;
};
};

When DPCM will handle the formats and rates, the audio subsystem will
find by itself if such stream will go to the HDMI only or to the S/PDIF
only or to both. The kirwood audio driver will work as it is and the tda998x
CODEC will work as it is. There will be no need to change these drivers.
All we need actually is some more code in DPCM or multi-codec or
whatever mechanism which will route the stream according to the rates
and formats.

Actually, as DPCM does not work, the user has to choose which PCM to
use, otherwise, the application does a format and rate translation.

Anyway, if you want S/PDIF output with the actual kernel (3.16-rc3), in
the DT, put:

spdif_codec: spdif-codec {
compatible = "linux,spdif-dit";
#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
};

sound {
compatible = "simple-audio-card";
simple-audio-card,name = "Cubox Audio";
simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";

simple-audio-card,dai-link { /* S/PDIF - S/PDIF */
simple-audio-card,cpu {
sound-dai = <&audio1 1>;
};
simple-audio-card,codec {
sound-dai = <&spdif_codec>;
};
};
};

&audio1 {
status = "okay";
clocks = <&gate_clk 13>, <&si5351 2>;
clock-names = "internal", "extclk";
pinctrl-0 = <&pmx_audio1_i2s1_spdifo &pmx_audio1_extclk>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
#sound-dai-cells = <1>;
};

and the sound should get out of your S/PDIF optical connector.

Eventually, the TDA998x is used in other machines. Are you sure that
the audio controllers of all these machines have a S/PDIF output
connected to the S/PDIF input of the tda998x?

The tda998x CODEC I propose works in all configurations.

If you think I'm arguing because I personally want something, then we're
not going to make any progress.

What I want is for this to be _correct_ and _not_ to introduce silly
restrictions which break people's setups.

Except, as Mark has already pointed out, and as I keep pointing out to
you, and you keep refusing to accept, the kirkwood driver as it stands
is *not* a DPCM driver. It makes no use of that stuff at all.

What you're doing in kirkwood-i2s is providing two plain DAI links,
and then insisting that only one can be active any any one time.

A DPCM solution provides at least one frontend DAI link and at least
one backend DAI link. Your code does not do this.

The second point is that - and as I keep telling you - that as soon
as you couple your existing code (which restricts things like the
sample rates) you can no longer output anything else through the
optical out ON THE CUBOX. For this statement, I'm not talking
_generally_, I'm talking _specifically_ about _one_ _platform_.

Yes, DPCM currently lacks full support, that's been known about for
some time - I've reported it to Mark, but it seems that this isn't
something that is going to get fixed until others put work into it.

Which bit of "we need to support both I2S and SPDIF" in my previous
emails was not clear. Which bit of "We should only support SPDIF
on the Cubox" was not clear?

I *fully* acknowledge that we need to support both, but I'm putting
a _strong_ recommendation to you _with_ technical reasons why we
should _only_ support SPDIF on the Cubox.

You know why I did not insert the DPCM code in the kirkwood driver: it
does not work. But, as I tested it end 2013, I still have the code.
Do you want I propose a patch?

Sorry, I still don't see why only S/PDIF should be supported on the
Cubox. I have both, and both are working on HDMI. I hope someone will
tell me it also works on S/PDIF: there is no reason it could not.

I don't see your technical reasons: you know the constraints of each
protocol I2S and S/PDIF. If you don't want I2S, just don't declare it
in the DT (see my previous mail). You may also note that I did not put
any change relative to the Cubox DT in my patch.
