So, I have the following as modules, and Ubuntu being Ubuntu, it loads them in an apparantly random order on each boot. The order in which it loaded it this time was (most recent first):
snd_soc_fsl_spdif imx_sdma imx_pcm_dma snd_soc_imx_spdif snd_soc_spdif_tx
which produced these messages:
imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: CPU DAI (null) not registered imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: snd_soc_register_card failed: -517 platform sound-spdif.17: Driver imx-spdif requests probe deferral imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: CPU DAI (null) not registered imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: snd_soc_register_card failed: -517 platform sound-spdif.17: Driver imx-spdif requests probe deferral imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: CPU DAI (null) not registered imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: snd_soc_register_card failed: -517 platform sound-spdif.17: Driver imx-spdif requests probe deferral imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: CPU DAI (null) not registered imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: snd_soc_register_card failed: -517 platform sound-spdif.17: Driver imx-spdif requests probe deferral imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: initialized imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: loaded firmware 1.1
Unloading and reloading snd_soc_imx_spdif then caused this:
fsl-spdif-dai 2004000.spdif: Missing dma channel for stream: 0 fsl-spdif-dai 2004000.spdif: ASoC: pcm constructor failed: -22 imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: can't create pcm S/PDIF PCM Playback :-22 imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: failed to instantiate card -22 imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: snd_soc_register_card failed: -22 imx-spdif: probe of sound-spdif.17 failed with error -22 fsl-spdif-dai 2004000.spdif: Missing dma channel for stream: 0 fsl-spdif-dai 2004000.spdif: ASoC: pcm constructor failed: -22 imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: can't create pcm S/PDIF PCM Playback :-22 imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: ASoC: failed to instantiate card -22 imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: snd_soc_register_card failed: -22
and unloading all of them (except for imx_sdma and snd_soc_spdif_tx) and reloading them in this order (most recent first):
snd_soc_imx_spdif snd_soc_fsl_spdif imx_pcm_dma
then produced:
imx-spdif sound-spdif.17: dit-hifi <-> 2004000.spdif mapping ok
Clearly something isn't right here.
Unloading snd_soc_imx_spdif to then try and re-provoke the problem then caused this:
