Hi,
the commit 70d435ba1cd6 ("ASoC: imx-pcm-dma: simplify pcm_config") introduced a regression on the Ka-Ro TX series modules (and possibly other hardware as well).
The problem is, that this commit restricts the supported sound formats to S24_LE only rather than S16_LE, S24_LE, S20_3LE without the patch. Therefore aplay fails with the following error messages, when trying to play a sound file with S16_LE format:
ALSA lib alsa-lib- 1.1.2/src/pcm/pcm_params.c:2162:(snd1_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable aplay: set_params:1204: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available
This is with the simple-sound-card driver as well as the imx-sgtl5000 driver.
Can someone tell me on what hardware and with what software has this patch been tested?
My primary test hardware was the zii-rdu2 board, the DTS for this board can be found in recent mainline kernels.
Userspace is based on pulseaudio, which may mask the regression by resampling to the supported format. Sorry about that.
From my understanding of the code, it should be possible to fix the
regression without reverting this patch by setting SND_DMAENGINE_PCM_DAI_FLAG_PACK in the flags field of the DMA params in fsl_ssi.
