Hi Lars Cc Magnus, Laurent
I noticed Analog Devices has adv7511 support on http://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-drivers/drm/adv7511
And I tried this driver on my board, and it works.
if my understanding was correct, latest linux kernel doesn't have adv7511 "sound" support yet. Thus, I would like to have it on linux kernel. According to this driver/file, it is under GPL-2, so it is no problem from license point of view.
According to git log Signd-off-by, Lars/Mark are listed on this adv7511 sound driver. but I wonder why it is not on upstream ? Are there some reason ?? If you don't mind, I would like to send it to ML. This is OK ?
The reason why the driver is not upstream at the moment is that the way it implements things is definitely not the right way. But there is still a lot of discussion on what actually is the right way to implement audio support for HDMI devices. Once that has been sorted out the driver will hopefully go upstream.
Thank you for explaining this background. I understand. feel free to contact me if you want me test. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe alsa-devel" in
