[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/4] simple-audio-card codec2codec support

[Samuel Holland]

We are currently using simple-audio-card on the Allwinner A64 SoC.
The digital audio codec there (sun8i-codec) has 3 AIFs, one each for the
CPU, the modem, and Bluetooth. Adding support for the secondary AIFs
requires adding codec2codec DAI links.

Since the modem and bt-sco codec DAI drivers only have one set of
possible PCM parameters (namely, 8kHz mono S16LE), there's no real
need for a machine driver to specify the DAI link configuration. The
parameters for these "simple" DAI links can be chosen automatically.

This series adds a single "codec-to-codec" property to the
simple-audio-card binding, which does exactly what it says. It works out
rather nicely without making the device tree binding too complicated.

The first patch fixes a bug I found while implementing this feature.

I tried to reuse as much code as possible, so the middle two patches
refactor a couple of helper functions to be more generic.

Finally, the last patch adds the new feature and its documentation.

Samuel Holland (4):
  ASoC: codec2codec: avoid invalid/double-free of pcm runtime
  ALSA: pcm: Make snd_pcm_limit_hw_rates take hw directly
  ASoC: pcm: Export parameter intersection logic
  ASoC: simple-card: Add support for codec-to-codec dai_links
