[PATCH] ASoC: bcm2835-i2s: substream alignment now independent in hwparams

[PATCH] ASoC: bcm2835-i2s: substream alignment now independent in hwparams

[Matt Flax]

Substream sample alignment was being set in hwparams for both
substreams at the same time. This became a problem when	the Audio
Injector isolated sound card needed to offset sample alignment
for high sample	rates. The latency difference between playback
and capture occurs because of the digital isolation chip
propagation time, particularly when the codec is master and
the DAC return is twice delayed.

This patch sets sample alignment registers  based on the substream
direction in hwparams. This gives the machine driver more control
over sample alignment in the bcm2835 i2s driver.

Please don't send content free pings and please allow a reasonable time
for review.  People get busy, go on holiday, attend conferences and so 
on so unless there is some reason for urgency (like critical bug fixes)
please allow at least a couple of weeks for review.  If there have been
review comments then people may be waiting for those to be addressed.

Sending content free pings adds to the mail volume (if they are seen at
all) which is often the problem and since they can't be reviewed
directly if something has gone wrong you'll have to resend the patches
anyway, so sending again is generally a better approach though there are
some other maintainers who like them - if in doubt look at how patches
for the subsystem are normally handled.

This will break duplex operation if a second stream is opened when
a stream is already running as the channel position registers for
the second stream haven't been set up.

Note this code at the very beginning of hw_params:

        /*
         * If a stream is already enabled,
         * the registers are already set properly.
         */
        regmap_read(dev->i2s_regmap, BCM2835_I2S_CS_A_REG, &csreg);

        if (csreg & (BCM2835_I2S_TXON | BCM2835_I2S_RXON))
                return 0;

The reason for this check is that we can't change bcm2835 I2S registers
after I2S RX/TX has been enabled - the reason why is explained in the
datasheet:

> The PCM interface runs asynchronously at the PCM_CLK rate and
> automatically transfers transmit and receive data across to the

Therefore we need to set up channel masks for both RX and TX before
any stream is started.

so long,

I see what you mean. We can't change the registers once the system has 
started half duplex and then subsequently changed to full duplex.

There are cases however where playback and capture need to be set 
independently. In these cases the machine driver requires different 
format settings based on the stream direction.

What if we make a check for whether the system is already running and in 
that case return an error - forcing the user to use specify the same 
dai_fmt which is already in use before continuing ?

Would there be a better way to achieve different hwparams based on 
stream direction ?

I'm not sure if I can follow you. dai_fmt, as the name implies, sets
the format of the DAI - you can't have different DAI formats for
playback/capture active at the same time.

This sounds a bit like you may be trying to work around some hardware
or codec configuration issue by creative use of the API.

If you really need different DAI formats for playback/capture it's
best to disallow full-duplex mode and set the DAI format based on
stream direction in the machine driver.

It is the nature of digital isolation chips. They have very significant 
latencies. If the codec is master, then the round trip latency which 
effects the DAC's I2S line is even more significant.

If we were to disallow full duplex mode in the machine driver, how would 
it look in the machine driver ? Would the user still be able to do full 
duplex capture/playback ?

We could take that approach if the user could still perform full duplex 
operations. However it doesn't represent the hardware. The hardware is 
in full duplex mode and requires different word offsets for ADC and DAC 
I2S lines.

It seems that the ALSA core system can't handle this because the set_fmt 
functions don't specify the stream direction. This happens both for the 
CPU and the Codec drivers.

This is something you need to fix at the hardware level, you have to
make sure the signals adhere to the I2S timing requirements. Trying
to work around that with software is the wrong approach.

You probably need to use faster optocouplers or whatever you are using
for isolation.
