Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add dual-fifo mode support of i.MX ssi

Changelog
v1:
* SSI can reduce hardware overrun/underrun possibility when using dual
* fifo mode. To support this mode, we need to first update sdma sciprt
* list, and then enable dual fifo BIT in SSI driver, and last update DT
* bindings of i.MX series.
*
* ! This series of patches has a direct dependency between them. When
* ! applying them, we need to apply in one single branch. Otherwise,
* ! it would break currect branches.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dma: imx-sdma: Add ssi dual fifo script support

There's a script for SSI missing in current sdma script list. Thus add it.
This script would allow SSI use its dual fifo mode to transimit/receive
data without occasional hardware underrun/overrun.

This patch also fixed a counting error for total number of scripts.

Have you measured any real performance gain with this patch? I
considered adding dual-FIFO support when I originally wrote this driver,
but it didn't appear to have any real benefit, but it used twice as many
DMA channels.

I'm concerned that this is another patch that just enables a useless
feature.

Without dual fifo support, handware underrun would occasionally occur and then two audio channels would physically swap. This could be easily reproduced in low bus frequency situation, while it would be better if we enable dual fifo.

Look at drivers/dma/imx-sdma.c:

Can you image why this firmware has a version field? Right, it's because
it encodes the layout of struct sdma_script_start_addrs.

As the comment clearly states you have to *increase this field* when you
add scripts.

Obviously you missed that, as the firmware on lkml posted recently
shows:

And no, this is not a bug. It's your firmware header that is buggy.

What you need is:

#define SDMA_SCRIPT_ADDRS_ARRAY_SIZE_V2 37

You (you as a company, not you as a person) knew that it was me who
created this firmware format. So it was absolutely unnecessary to create
an incompatible firmware instead of dropping me a short note.

Please add a version check to the driver as necessary and provide a proper
firmware.

I wasn't aware that the problem is far more complicated than I thought.
And thank you for telling me all this.

Just currently it's not easy for me to create a new proper firmware,
