This is the DMA burst size, and can be either 32 or 128 bytes according to the docs. Everyone seems to pass this as 128 bytes in their platform data to date, which I guess is why its ended up being hard coded as 128. However, whether it needs to be configurable or not is debatable - obviously the hardware allows it, but that doesn't mean it has to be exposed. If ALSA has some kind of way of specifying a "low latency" mode where 128 byte vs 32 byte fetches would make a significant difference, then it may be something to look at. I'll retract my previous comment on this (about it being a DT property) - given what it does, it isn't describing the hardware capabilities as I first thought it was. > > - priv->clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL); > > + priv->clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "internal"); > > if (IS_ERR(priv->clk)) { > > - dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no clock\n"); > > + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no internal clock\n"); > > return PTR_ERR(priv->clk); > > } > > Does the code providing it already name the clock?

I don't see any purpose to this name changing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
