[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] Add MICFIL DAI support

[Cosmin Samoila]

PDM is a popular way to deliver audio from microphones to the processor
in several applications, such as mobile telephones. However, current
digital-audio systems use multibit audio signal (also known as multibit
PCM) to represent the signal. For this purpose a set of FIR, CIC or/and
Half Band filters are usually implemented on DSPs or software. This block
implements the required digital interface to provide a 16-bit audio signal
from a PDM microphone bitstream in a configurable output sampling rate.
The implementation of this digital interface is based on the application
of digital signal processing techniques in hardware. The PDM Microphone
Interface architecture was designed to gate saving and minimal power
consumption. It implements a bunch of filters to transform a 1-bit PDM
bitstream to a 16-bit PCM signal in the audio band. To avoid aliasing
frequencies in passband, the overall filter has 80 dB stopband attenuation
and passband ripple less than 0.2dB.
The whole module is implemented to work in a multichannel mode. All
channels have the same configuration but each input channel could be turned
on/off independently.


Changes since v1:
- removed the hwvad support from patches since it is a separate functionality
and it needs some design rework. Will address HWVAD in later series of patches
after analyzing comunity feedback and design guildlines.
- removed clock source choice for clock driver and use the AudioPLL1 as clock
source. Having only one clock source it is sufficient for basic functionality.
- removed dma-names and status from dt-bindings
- changed volume control names and type to S_VALUE
