According to WTN0302 this might or might not include regulator
ramp-up-delay. You should clearly indicate which part of it this delay
is to not mix up with ramp up. IOW, mention exactly from where the value
comes (e.g. Δt POWER UP TO AUDIO OUT TIMING table, depending on sampling
clock rate). Otherwise you introduce quite loose property which will be
including regulator ramp up in some cases...

Krzysztof

Doing a 100ms busy wait in atomic context does not seem like a great
idea, never mind a 1.5s one. This shouldn't be done in trigger, it
needs to be done later - digital_mute() might be a better time to hook
in, though longer delays like this are really quite bad.

According to that the delay is a property of MCLK and the sample rate
rather than a per board constant, it shouldn't be in DT but rather the
driver should figure out the required delay on each startup.

Yes, you are absolutely right. From the power up to audio out timing table in
WTN0302, the minimum number is 82 and the maximum is 1003.

Consider the following possibilities:
1. These timings may depend on the system design
2. These timings may be simulated results
3. These timings may be the minimum values

I set a larger value trying to extend the time. The larger value of course
introduces unwanted time delay but it benefits on avoiding beginning audio
lost.

I also did some tests on a board. If I want to work on 48KHZ sample rate and
512FS, the recommended value is 143. But the test result showed 143ms is not
enough. I increased the value to 500ms and could hear the beginning sound.

Maybe it's a better choice to let DT set the suitable value? Is there a similar
situation before?

Yes. This property is designed for power up to audio out timing. I need to
clearly point this out.

Yes, such long time delay in driver is very bad. But this device requires
waiting some time before able to output audio. We have to wait otherwise the
beginning data may be lost.

The power up to audio out timing occurs after MCLK, BCLK and MUTE=1 are ready.
I added the delay in trigger() because some CPU DAI drivers enable BCLK in
trigger(). You suggested moving the delay to digital_mute(). It seems
digital_mute() is called before cpu_dai->trigger. Please correct me if I'm
wrong.

I can't agree with you more. From the power up to audio out timing table in
WTN0302, the delay depends on sample rate and MCLK. Driver should calculate it
rather than read it from DT. However as I mentioned in my last email, values in
the table seem not accurate for all systems. It's a kind of compromise to get
the value from DT. Do other codecs have a similar situation?

Thank you very much for your suggestions!

DT is for hardware properties, not for software compromises.

Maybe you miss proper regulator ramp-up?

That's not really good argument. DT should describe hardware and if this
property does not match hardware, it means you mix this with something
else. Something not for DT.

It's not just that it's doing this in the driver, it's doing it in the
trigger() function which runs in atomic context. That's unreasonable.

Hrm, right - in any case, it needs to be somewhere that isn't atomic
context.

OK. The patches for adding such property are not really good. I need to find a
better way to address the issue.

I think PATCH 1 and PATCH 3 can be kept. So I will modify them according
comments.

Thank you for your review. That benefits me a lot.

OK. I will keep PATCH 1 and PATCH 3.

For PATCH 2 and PATCH 4, I have to find a better way in which long time delay
can be avoided in atomic context.

Thank you very much for your comments.
