Remove empty functions, at best they waste space at worst they break things.
Without the empty function, we run into problems with drivers that abort when they get -ENOTSUPP here:
sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c: ret = snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(codec_dai, WM8904_CLK_FLL, sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c- 0, SND_SOC_CLOCK_IN); sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c- if (ret < 0) { sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c- pr_err("%s -failed to set wm8904 SYSCLK\n", __func__); sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c- return ret; sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c- }
Someone trying to use the atmel_wm8904 driver with something other than a wm8904 shouldn't really be expecting a good experince...
Is there a stub version that I can use instead? Nothing jumped out at me when looking at the other codec drivers.
No, such a stub would make no sense - why would we put a stub in all the drivers rather than just making the core do the right thing?
/** The master volume defaults to 0x3ff (mute), but we ignore* (zero) the LSB because the hardware step size is 0.125 dB* and TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM has a resolution of 0.01 dB.*/if (regmap_write(priv->regmap, TAS571X_MVOL_REG, 0x3fe))return -EIO;
I don't understand this - is the LSB a mute bit or sommething?
The 10-bit master volume field on 5717/5719 works like:
0x3ff: MUTE (power-on default) 0x3fe: -103.750 dB 0x3fd: -103.625 dB [lots more options, in 0.125 dB increments] 0x001: 23.875 dB 0x000: 24.000 dB
Since we only have a resolution of 0.01 dB, the driver forces the LSB to 0 and uses 0.25 dB increments instead of 0.125 dB. Mute is handled through the dedicated per-channel soft mute register bits instead of the 0x3ff volume setting.
It's not entirely clear to me why we need to reset the bit, or why if we're just trying to update that one bit we write the entire register value rather than use _update_bits(). If the goal is just to change that one bit then _update_bits() would be a lot clearer.
