[alsa-devel] [RFC 0/9] ASoC: fsl-ssi: offline/online configuration and cleanups

[Markus Pargmann]

Hi,

This patch series fixes some fsl-ssi code that does not act exactly as it is
described in the reference manuals.

The reference manuals before imx50 do mention that some register bits,
including TDMAE/RDMAE, should not be changed while the SSI unit is enabled
(SSIEN). At the same time the SDMA unit has a undefined request handling if
there are DMA requests before the SDMA engine and its channel is configured.
The reference manual states that SSI DMA requests are sent as soon as the FIFO
and the DMAE bits are enabled. It does not mention a dependency to SCR's TE/RE
bit.

To avoid sending DMA requests before a channel is configured, we have to
seperate the fsl-ssi behavior into offline and online configuration. SoCs
before imx50 have to use offline configuration while later SoC versions can use
online reconfiguration.

This series adds support for online configuration and cleans up the
configuration register code especially in fsl_ssi_trigger. At the end we have a
seperation between enable/disable logic and the actual configuration register
values used to enable/disable TX/RX.

I tested this series on mx53.

Regards,

Markus
