Add a KUnit test for cirrus_scodec_get_speaker_id(). It is impractical to have enough hardware with every possible permutation of speaker id. So use a test harness to test all theoretically supported options.

The test harness consists of:

• a mock GPIO controller.
• a mock struct device to represent the scodec driver
• software nodes to provide the fwnode info that would normally come from ACPI.

This needs to be fixed before being sent to mainline else it will break our builds; our CI is already red in -next over this.

Hm, this looks like some inconsistent handling of the temporary array passed to ARRAY_SIZE() in the SOFTWARE_NODE_REFERENCE macro. LLVM can't treat it if it contains a variable in the given array, while GCC doesn't care.

A hackish workaround would be the patch like below, but it's really ugly. Ideally speaking, it should be fixed in linux/properties.h, but I have no idea how to fix there for LLVM.

Adding more relevant people to Cc.

thanks,

Takashi

The tests must generate sw nodes dynamically, not a fixed const struct. I wanted to avoid directly accessing the internals of the SW node structures. Use only the macros.

I can rewrite this code to open-code the construction of the software_node_ref_args. Or I can wait a while in case anyone has a suggested fix for the macros.

Its seems reasonable that you should be able to create software nodes dynamically. A "real" use of these might need to construct the data from some other data that is not known at runtime (for example, where the ACPI provides some information but not the necessary info).
