Subject: [PATCH v4 01/11] ASoC: jz4740-i2s: Handle independent FIFO flush bits

On the JZ4740, there is a single bit that flushes (empties) both
the transmit and receive FIFO. Later SoCs have independent flush
bits for each FIFO, which allows us to flush the right FIFO when
starting up a stream.

This also fixes a bug: since we were only setting the JZ4740's
flush bit, which corresponds to the TX FIFO flush bit on other
SoCs, other SoCs were not having their RX FIFO flushed at all.

Just rename JZ_AIC_CTRL_FLUSH to JZ_AIC_CTRL_TFLUSH and introduce
JZ_AIC_CTRL_RLUSH.

Wouldn't it be simpler to do one single if/else? And hy is one checked
before the (snd_soc_dai_active(dai)) check, and the other is checked
after?

You could do something like this:

ctrl = jz4740_i2s_read(i2s, JZ_REG_AIC_CTRL);

if (i2s->soc_info->shared_fifo_flush ||
substream->stream == SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK) {
ctrl |= JZ_AIC_CTRL_TFLUSH;
} else {
ctrl |= JZ_AIC_CTRL_RFLUSH;
}

jz4740_i2s_write(i2s, JZ_REG_AIC_CTRL, ctrl);

According to the JZ4740 programming manual JZ_AIC_CTRL_FLUSH flushes
both FIFOs, so it's not equivalent JZ4760_AIC_CTRL_TFLUSH. I don't
think it's a good idea to confuse the two, or we'd need comments to
explain why JZ4740 uses TFLUSH but not RFLUSH.

snd_soc_dai_active() is essentially checking if there's an active
substream. Eg. if no streams are open and you start playback, then
the DAI will be inactive. If you then start capture while playback is
running, the DAI is already active.

With a shared flush bit we can only flush if there are no other active
substreams (because we don't want to disturb the active stream by
flushing the FIFO) so it goes after the snd_soc_dai_active() check.

When the FIFOs can be separately flushed, flushing can be done before
the check because it won't disturb any active substream.

"shared_fifo_flush" is pretty much self-explanatory though. It then
becomes obvious looking at the code that when this flag is set, TFLUSH
flushes both FIFOs.

If you prefer... you can #define JZ_AIC_CTRL_FLUSH JZ_AIC_CTRL_TFLUSH.
I don't like the JZ4760 prefix, this is in no way specific to the
JZ4760.

Ok. It makes sense then. Please add some info about this in the commit
message, because it really wasn't obvious to me.

You should maybe factorize the read-modify-write into its own function.
I know this gets eventually modified by [03/11], but this [01/11] is a
bugfix so it will be applied to older kernels, and I'd rather not have
duplicated code there.

Cheers,

Makes sense, I'll stick with TFLUSH / RFLUSH only.
