ASoC can use the TLV mechanism to pass coefficient data for controls that exceed the normal 512 byte limit. However, there is no mechanism to inform user-space the control expects data through the TLV mechanism. Currently amixer uses a combination of the absense of non-TLV read/write permissions and the type being BYTES. This is not ideal as it is not a clear signal and prevents controls that might support both access mechanisms.
Add a specific flag SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_TLV_COEFF to let user-space know when it is dealing with a TLV control that is being used to pass actual coefficient data. Then add this flag to the controls generated by the current users of these types of controls.

Hi,
This builds on work done by Sakamoto-san [1] and the changes mentioned to amixer in the commit message are found in [2]. I think something like this should probably be added, what I am less clear on is where we go from here?
Sakamoto-san's original patches also added a tag type SNDRV_CTL_TVLT_COEFF, to keep the data matching the normal format found in TLV controls. The trouble is neither of the two users really follow this convention at the moment. The ADSP code just takes the data as is with no additional headers and the Skylake code does have a tag and a length as part of the data passed through the TLV however the tag part looks like it is used for some internal purpose, so I am far from clear it would support a fixed value to identify the data without some changes as well.
Changing the ADSP code is probably acceptable since we have had very few users in the field, and since this work has been done improvements in the firmware tool chains mean most firmwares are created with much smaller dedicated purpose controls rather than the large block ones that were initially the reason for using these controls on our side.
Finally, since [3] tinymix has been updated to add some TLV information into control writes/reads which will break the ADSP code once it trickles down to users. So I would be keen to discuss this at this years conference and decide how we are going to handle these controls? As Mark says [4] maybe we should see if there is a better approach we should all migrate across to?
Currently I'm open for this although ideally we may have TLV COEFF type for consistency as you noted.
Who should test the callback (whether in ASoC core or ALSA core) is another open question, but it's a cosmetic issue.
In anyway, I'd happily discuss this at audio conf.
thanks,
Takashi
