[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: pxa2xx: fix ac97 cold reset for pxa27x

Currently, ac97 reset is broken on PXA27x.  Through trial-and-error (the pxa270
developer's manual is mostly incoherent on the topic of ac97 reset), I fixed it
by setting the WARM_RST bit in the GCR register at the end of the cold reset,
and then skipping the warm reset if the link is already up and running.

It appears that setting the WARM_RST bit is a necessary final step during cold
reset.  I think that the PXA25x and PXA3xx may currently be working correctly
because WARM_RST is set within the warm reset routine, and the codec drivers
always follow a cold reset with a warm reset during their initialization. so
this combination effectively completes a cold reset.  This doesn't work on the
PXA27x because its warm reset routine contains additional code for working
around a hardware bug in the warm reset sequence, which causes the reset
sequence to fail.  I only have a PXA27x platform for testing, so this patch only
affects the PXA27x.

As an aside... I don't understand how always following a cold reset with a warm
reset (as the codec drivers do) makes sense.  Unless I'm mistaken, a warm reset
can only occur on a link that's currently down.  All the timing diagrams I've
seen for reset (warm and cold) show the link down (BITCLK stopped) at the start
of the reset sequence.  The SYNC line is used to effect the warm reset, and SYNC
is already pulsing every frame on a link that's up and running, so it seems
physically impossible to do a warm reset on a link that's currently up.  But I'm
no ac97 expert, so I may just be embarassing myself.  Any insight gratefully
received.  Thanks!
