Many ASoC drivers define CPU/Codec/Platform dai_link by below macro.

SND_SOC_DAILINK_DEFS(link, (A) DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_CPU("cpu_dai")), (B) DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_CODEC("codec", "dai1"), (B) COMP_CODEC("codec", "dai2")), (C) DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_EMPTY()));

In this case, this macro will be converted to like below

[o] = static struct snd_soc_dai_link_component

(A) [o] link_cpus[] = {{ .dai_name = "cpu_dai" }}; (B) [o] link_codecs[] = {{ .dai_name = "dai1", .name = "codec" }, { .dai_name = "dai2", .name = "codec" }} (C) [o] link_platforms[] = {{ }};

CPU and Codec info will be filled by COMP_CPU() / COMP_CODEC (= A,B), and Platform will have empty data by COMP_EMPTY() (= C) in this case.

Platform empty info will be filled when driver probe() (most of case, CPU info will be copied to use soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm).

For example in case of DPCM FE/BE, it will be like below. Codec will be dummy Component / DAI in this case (X).

SND_SOC_DAILINK_DEFS(link, DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_CPU(...)), (X) DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_DUMMY()), DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_EMPTY()));

(X) part will converted like below

[o] link_codecs[] = {{ .name = "snd-soc-dummy", .dai_name = "snd-soc-dummy-dai", }}

Even though we already have common asoc_dummy_dlc for dummy Component / DAI, this macro will re-create new dummy dlc. Some drivers defines many dai_link info via SND_SOC_DAILINK_DEFS(), this means many dummy dlc also will be re-created. This is waste of memory.

If we can use existing common asoc_dummy_dlc at (X), we can avoid to re-creating dummy dlc, then, we can save the memory.

At that time, we want to keep existing code as much as possible, because too many drivers are using this macro. But because of its original style, using common asoc_dummy_dlc from it is very difficult or impossible.

So let's change the mind. The macro is used like below

SND_SOC_DAILINK_DEFS(link, DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_CPU(...)), (x) DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_DUMMY()), DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_EMPTY()));

static struct snd_soc_dai_link dai_links[] = { { .name = ..., .stream_name = ..., (y) SND_SOC_DAILINK_REG(link), },

(y) part will be like below

     static struct snd_soc_dai_link dai_links[] = {
     {
             .name = ...,
             .stream_name = ...,

^ ... | .codecs = link_codecs, (y) .num_codecs = ARRAY_SIZE(link_codecs), v ... }

This patch try to use trick on COMP_DUMMY()

• #define COMP_DUMMY() { .name = "snd-soc-dummy", .dai_name = "snd-soc-dummy-dai", }

• #define COMP_DUMMY()

By this tric, (x) part will be like below.

before [o] link_codecs[] = {{ .name = "snd-soc-dummy", .dai_name = "snd-soc-dummy-dai", }} after [o] link_codecs[] = { };

This is same as below

[o] link_codecs[0];

This means it has pointer (link_codecs), but the array size is 0. (y) part will be like below.

static struct snd_soc_dai_link dai_links[] = { { ... .codecs = link_codecs, .num_codecs = 0, ... },

This is very special settings that normal use usually not do, but new macro do. We can find this special settings on soc-core.c and fill it as "dummy DAI" (= asoc_dummy_dlc). By this tric, we can avoid to re-create dummy dlc and save the memory.

This patch add tric at COMP_DUMMY() and add snd_soc_fill_dummy_dai() to fill dummy DAI.

It is a little bit macro magic

COMP_EMPTY() static struct snd_soc_dai_link_component name[] = {{ }}, ^^^ COMP_DUMMY() static struct snd_soc_dai_link_component name[] = { }, ^^^ EMPTY case will be 1 element array, DUMMY case will be 0 element array. So, EMPTY case has empty element, and is not a special/strange array. But DUMMY case, it has pointer but 0 size array, very special/strange. This patch making this special/strange array on purpose, and convert it to asoc_dummy_dlc() on soc-core.c Is this good answer for you ?

Yes, thanks!

OK, will fix in v2
