[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: ASoC: fix SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC support in Freescale 8610 sound drivers

Fri Aug 1 21:58:44 CEST 2008


If an OSS application calls SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC, then ALSA will call the driver's
_hw_params and _prepare functions again.  On the Freescale MPC8610 DMA ASoC
driver, this caused the DMA controller to be unneccessarily re-programmed, and
apparently it doesn't like that.  The DMA will then not operate when
instructed.  This patch relocates much of the DMA programming to
fsl_dma_open(), which is called only once.

This patch is for 2.6.27.  A separate patch for ASoC V2 will be posted later.
