[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 2/3] ASoC: dmaengine-pcm: Rename and deprecate snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer

[Lars-Peter Clausen]

Currently the sound dmaengine pcm helper functions implement the pcm_pointer
callback by trying to count the number of elapsed periods. This is done by
advancing the stream position in the dmaengine callback by one period.
Unfortunately there is no guarantee that the callback will be called for each
elapsed period. It may be possible that under high system load it is only called
once for multiple elapsed periods. This patch renames the current implementation
and documents its shortcomings and that it should not be used anymore in new
drivers.

The next patch will introduce a new snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer which will be
implemented based on querying the current stream position from the dma device.

Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars at metafoo.de>

---
If you are maintaining a pcm driver which use the dmaengine pcm helper please
check if you platform works with the new snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer
implementation which is added in the next patch (ux500 seems to be good
candidate). And if it does send a follow-up patch to convert your platform to
the new implementation. If it does not please try to fix or add residue
reporting support to your dmaengine driver.

This patch is new in v2 of this series
