Background
Azalia Controller fetches command and audio data via DMA and send them to codec through SDO(Serial Data Out) lines. SDO is for outboung and it broadcasts to all codecs. There is atleast one SDO line present, but there can be multiple SDO lines supported for extended bandwidth. This is essential when a platform supports multiple hdmi/dp sinks and there is a requirement for higher resolution audio playback. In such cases simultaneous audio playback data can be striped across multiple SDOs.
Global Capabilities(GCAP) Register indicates the capabilities of the controller. Bits 2:1 of GCAP can be read to know the number of supported SDO lines (below is from HD audio spec) 00: 1 SDO 01: 2 SDO 10: 4 SDO 11: Reserved
Stripe control verb reports and controls the stripe capability of an Audio Output Converter. This verb needs to be implemented only for an audio output converter and only if the stripe bit of the Audio Widget Capabilities parameter is 1. Stripe control: get code(0xf24) and set code(0x724)
Change log
v1-->v2:
Patch 1: "ALSA: hda: add verbs for stripe control" * no change
Patch 2: "ALSA: hda: Add api to program stripe control bits" * no change
Patch 3: "ALSA: hda: add register offset for stripe control" * added mask for stripe control programming
Patch 4: "ALSA: hda: program stripe bits for controller" * used stripe control mask instead of hard coded value
Patch 5: "ALSA: hda: program stripe control for codec" * added conditional check to know if striping is supported. If supported, then only stripe verb is implemented.
v2-->v3:
Patch 1: "ALSA: hda: add verbs for stripe control" * no change Patch 2: "ALSA: hda: Add api to program stripe control bits" * added braces around stripe value calucation as per spec Patch 3: "ALSA: hda: add register offset for stripe control" * no change Patch 4: "ALSA: hda: program stripe bits for controller" * no change Patch 5: "ALSA: hda: program stripe control for codec" * no change
