[Sorry for the top-posting] The driver currently has: /* * Hardware limitation: The bclk rate must be * never greater than 1/5 IPG clock rate */ if (freq * 5 > clk_get_rate(ssi_private->clk)) { dev_err(cpu_dai->dev, "bitclk > ipgclk/5\n"); return -EINVAL; } Isn't this properly taking care of the clock restriction? ________________________________ From: Lukasz Majewski Sent: Sunday, September 3, 2017 8:05:01 AM To: Timur Tabi; Nicolin Chen; Xiubo Li; Fabio Estevam; Liam Girdwood; Mark Brown; Jaroslav Kysela; Takashi Iwai Cc: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org; linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org; linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org; Lukasz Majewski Subject: [PATCH] sound: soc: fsl: Do not set DAI sysclk when it is equal to system freq The problem is visible in the following setup (on the imx6q): "simple-audio-card" -> ssi2 -> I2S + I2C -> codec The function call log (simple-card probe -> CONFIG_SND_SIMPLE_CARD): asoc_simple_card_init_dai() @ sound/soc/generic/simple-card-utils.c snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk() fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk() @ sound/soc/fsl/fsl_ssi.c The last call is changing the bit clock (BCLK) frequency to SSI's IP block clock (ipg = 66 MHz) [1]. This is wrong, since IMX SSI block requires the I2S BCLK to be less than 1/5 of [1]. As a result the driver initialization passes without any errors, but the speaker-test test case breaks. This commit checks if the fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk() frequency passed is not equal to [1].
