I've run into problems using the adau1361 codec (adau1761) as i2s master.
I'm using i2c to set up the codec, and according to the datasheet there is an enable bit, which must be set in order to be able to access any other register than the first two registers.
This enable bit is set when the codec enters bias level standby, however, before entering this bias level, some other registers are written which will have no effect due to the inner workings of this codec. Oddly enough, it does ack all writes when measuring the i2c bus.
One of these registers is the serial port 0 register, which configures the i2s bus. This results in the situation that the CODEC dai thinks it is running as i2s slave and the CPU dai thinks too as well, and the bus is dead. Since the other register fields does not change with our dai configuration, the register never gets physically updated by an i2c write.
If I reset/reboot the system, which in our case does not power cycle the codec, the i2s bus is correctly set up and everything works as one would expect.
So, either the driver behaves incorrectly relying on bias level being set before any other registers are written, or the underlying subsystem are behaving incorrectly. We're using the simple-card board driver as it is sufficient for our needs.
