Hi,
I just posted a series adding SDMA support for i.MX to the Arm Linux Kernel mailing list.
I noticed. It's good to see SDMA support going upstream :)
It also contains a patch for adding SDMA support to the i.MX SSI units. I haven't cc'd alsa-devel because most of the stuff is not sound related. I know at least Mark and Liam are interested, so I leave a pointer here. The sound stuff needs to be synchronized with the other patches, so it's probably best if all patches go via my tree.
Yeah, that should be OK. However, we do have a ASoC core multi-component update merging later this week. This may conflict with some of your SDMA updates, although the multi-component support only really affects ASoC component probe() and remove() as every component is a regular Linux device now (with platform data, etc) and private data access.
That won't be a problem. The SDMA code will wait until the next merge window anyway, I will rebase it after the multi-compoment merge if necessary.
The multi-component branch is here:-
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lrg/asoc-2.6.git topic/multi-component
I did have to make some changes to i.MX ASoC in order to de-couple some of the components in order for them to be distinct kernel devices. Any chance you could give this a test with the new SDMA code ?
Yes, will do later today or tomorrow. In fact, I wanted to do earlier, but didn't find the time.
