Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: hda: intel-dsp-cfg: Use AVS driver on SKL/KBL/APL Chromebooks

The legacy SKL driver no longer works properly on these Chromebook
platforms. Use the new AVS driver by default instead.

Hello,

Thank you for the patch. The code looks fine but it will cause backward
compatibility problems on driver <-> topology line which I'd like to avoid.

There's an ongoing discussion regarding 24/32 format support for HDAudio
drivers which is currently incorrect for all Intel AudioDSP drivers.
Until the discussion is finished I'd like to avoid switching. While the
avs-driver deprecates the skylake-driver since v5.4, the topology file
package is not yet part of any official distro release.

I've high hopes to finish the process by the end of November. That
means: driver code gets updated to properly represent 24/32 format AND
the avs-topology-xml repo [1] receives equivalent update making it a
candidate for distro integration. I'll bump this patch once the process
concludes.

It's fine to switch to the new and more maintained AVS (once after the
topology is ready), but I wonder how the breakage of SKL happened.
Was it our intentional breakage in the past? If so, why can't we
recover it?


thanks,

Takashi

To my knowledge, skylake-driver used in I2S configurations never worked
on "bare" upstream. While I and the team have been sending plethora of
fixes to upstream, it has always been done "after the fact".

Another topic is the topology. Again, from what I know, skylake-driver
topology files were never pushed as an official package to any distro.
In most cases, Chromebook-users were taking what we have done during
recent up-revs for those devices onto their distros. Eventually
avs-topology-xml/for-skylake-driver [1] and avsdk/for-skylake-driver [2]
have been created to help downstream users. While the method is not
perfect, it is certainly better than forcing users to switch to the
avs-driver immediately without addressing any existing skylake-driver
issues.
