Subject: [RFC PATCH v1] ASoC: wm8904: enable fll with fixed mclk

From: Andrejs Cainikovs <[email protected]>

Dear all,

This is an attempt to change wm8904 for a scenario when reference clock
supposed to be fixed to a particular frequency, but is not configured as
a fixed-clock. While this change is working fine, I'm struggling to
finalize it, not being able to find a proper solution of adding a check
whether we want to use fixed MCLK with codec's FLL or not. I could, of
course, introduce a new device tree property, but do not feel this would
be a proper way forward. Hence, I'm sending out this RFC patch to gather
your valuable feedback.

DUT: Dahlia carrier board with Verdin TI AM62 SOM.
Audio card configuration can be found in ti/k3-am62-verdin-dahlia.dtsi.

Thanks,
Andrejs.

On systems with a fixed reference clock output rate it
is impossible to use this clock for all audio frequencies.

Following is an example of playing a 44100Hz audio on a system
with a fixed 25MHz reference clock applied to wm8904 codec,
in combination with simple-audio-card without mclk-fs:

[ 27.013564] wm8904 1-001a: Target BCLK is 1411200Hz
[ 27.013601] wm8904 1-001a: Using 25000000Hz MCLK
[ 27.013611] wm8904 1-001a: CLK_SYS is 12500000Hz
[ 27.013654] wm8904 1-001a: Selected CLK_SYS_RATIO of 256
[ 27.013663] wm8904 1-001a: Selected SAMPLE_RATE of 44100Hz
[ 27.013671] wm8904 1-001a: Selected BCLK_DIV of 80 for 1562500Hz BCLK
[ 27.013680] wm8904 1-001a: LRCLK_RATE is 35

This leads to a distorted sound and this configuration is unusable.

On the other hand, configuring simple-audio-card with mclk-fs will
force the system to change MCLK frequency, which supposed to be fixed.

This change forces to use wm8904 FLL while keeping SoC's MCLK
frequency intact:

[ 234.108149] wm8904 1-001a: Target BCLK is 1411200Hz
[ 234.108304] wm8904 1-001a: Using 0Hz FLL clock
[ 234.108722] wm8904 1-001a: FLL configured for 25000000Hz->1411200Hz
[ 234.108794] wm8904 1-001a: CLK_SYS is 1411200Hz
[ 234.108835] wm8904 1-001a: Selected CLK_SYS_RATIO of 64
[ 234.108875] wm8904 1-001a: Selected SAMPLE_RATE of 44100Hz
[ 234.108913] wm8904 1-001a: Selected BCLK_DIV of 10 for 1411200Hz BCLK
[ 234.108955] wm8904 1-001a: LRCLK_RATE is 32

At some point one really starts to question if this is really a
"simple card" any more.

Hmm... the driver already provides an option to automatically
configure the clock. Is the issue here that in your fail case the
machine driver never calls wm8904_set_sysclk? Or if it does call
it, when and what parameters is it passing?

Thanks,
Charles

Charles,

With or without mclk-fs wm8904_set_sysclk() is called always during probe,
with following parameters:

clk_id = 0
dir = 0
freq = 25000000
mclk_freq = 25000000

When mclk-fs is set, wm8904_set_sysclk() is also called before each
playback [1]. In case of 44.1kHz:

clk_id = 0
dir = 0
freq = 11289600
mclk_freq = 11235955

In both scenarios, clk_id is always WM8904_CLK_AUTO.

Ah, ok I see what I was missing here. simple_card_utils calls
clk_set_rate if you specify mclk_fs. Which you don't want in this
case. My gut reaction is that really the problem here is the machine
driver doesn't support the clocking setup you have.

Having a quick look through the simple card stuff can you remove:

clocks = <&audio_refclk1>;

From the machine driver DT stuff, and add mclk-fs. I think that
should cause the simple card to call the codec dai_set_sysclk
but without ever touching the audio_refclk. A small change in
simple_util_parse_clk might also be needed to allow it to return
without finding a clock. Which feels like a much simpler and less
scary change.

My only slight reservation is the automatic clocking thing only
really exists as a hack to support simple card anyway. But overal
I think it might be better to try to move the direction of travel
more to adding support for the clocking systems that exist into
simple-card rather than tweaking the codec driver to work around
it.

Thanks,
Charles

Thanks for your help, Charles. Your suggestion works as expected.
Btw, there was no need to touch simple_util_parse_clk as it does
allow to return without finding a clock.
