I would really like to see this issue resolved, because HDMI audio support in
mainline Linux for those SoCs is long overdue.
However, there is a possibility to still add HDMI audio suport (stereo only)
even if this issue is not completely solved. If we agree that configuration of
channels would be solved with additional property as Christopher suggested,
support for >2 channels can be left for a later time when support for that
property would be implemented. Currently, stereo HDMI audio support can be
added with a few patches.
I think all I2S cores are really the same, no matter if internally connected
to HDMI controller or routed to pins, so it would make sense to use same
compatible for all of them. It's just that those I2S cores which are routed to
pins can use only one lane and >2 channels can be used only in TDM mode of
operation, if I understand this correctly.
New property would have to be optional, so it's omission would result in same
channel configuration as it is already present, to preserve compatibility with
old device trees. And this mode is already sufficient for stereo HDMI audio
support.
Side note: HDMI audio with current sun4i-i2s driver has a delay (about a
second), supposedly because DW HDMI controller automatically generates CTS
value based on I2S clock (auto CTS value generation is enabled per DesignWare
recomendation for DW HDMI I2S interface). I2S driver from BSP Linux solves
that by having I2S clock output enabled all the time. Should this be flagged
with some additional property in DT?

Yeah, it looks like a good plan.

Is that a constant delay during the audio playback, or only at startup?

I'd say that if the codec has that requirement, then it should be
between the codec and the DAI, the DT doesn't really have anything to
do with this.

I think it's just at startup, e.g. if you're watching movie, audio is in sync,
it's just that first second or so is silent.

Ok, but how to communicate that fact to I2S driver then? BSP driver solves
that by using different compatible, but as I said before, I2S cores are not
really different, so this seems wrong.

Maybe we could make the DW-HDMI I2S driver require the I2S clock be on all
the time? You wouldn't need any changes to the DT.

That's an option, but I'd really like to avoid it if possible.
I guess we could also just add a delay in the powerup path in the HDMI
case? Would it work?
