The patch

   ASoC: SOF: imx8: Fix dsp_box offset

has been applied to the asoc tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-5.5

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: imx8: Fix dsp_box offset

dsp_box is used to keep DSP initiated messages. The value of dsp_offset
is set by the DSP with the first message, so we need a way to bootstrap
it in order to get the first message.

We do this by setting the correct default dsp_box offset which on i.MX8
is not zero.

Very interesting is why it has worked until now.

On i.MX8, DSP communicates with ARM core using a shared SDRAM memory
area. Actually, there are two shared areas:
	* SDRAM0 - starting at 0x92400000, size 0x800000
	* SDRAM1 - starting at 0x92C00000, size 0x800000

SDRAM0 keeps the data sections, starting with .rodata. By chance
fw_ready structure was placed at the beginning of .rodata.

dsp_box_base is defined as SDRAM0 + dsp_box_offset and it is placed
at the beginning of SDRAM1 (dsp_box_offset should be 0x800000). But
because it is zero initialized by default it points to SDRAM0 where
by chance the fw_ready was placed in the SOF firmware.

Anyhow, SOF commit 7466bee378dd811b ("clk: make freq arrays constant")
fw_ready is no longer at the beginning of SDRAM0 and everything shows
how lucky we were until now.

Fix this by properly setting the default dsp_box offset.
