Controllers can support multiple Serial Data Out(SDO) lines, for
extended outbound bandwidth, to pump data to all codecs on the link.
Codecs can sample data present on SDO.

Add verbs AC_VERB_GET_STRIPE_CONTROL and AC_VERB_SET_STRIPE_CONTROL
These can be used to program usage of SDO lines for codec.

Controllers and codecs can support striping of audio out across
multiple SDO lines. The number of supported SDO lines can be
specific to chip. GCAP register can be read to know the maximum
supported SDO lines.

snd_hdac_get_stream_stripe_ctl() is exposed to program stripe bits
on controller and codec side.
stripe value: 0 for 1SDO, 1 for 2SDO, 2 for 4SDO lines, etc.,

bits 16:17 in SD_CTL register refer to stripe control. Added an
offset register(AZX_REG_SD_CTL_3B) to have exclusive read/write
of corresponding register byte. This helps to avoid unnecessary
32-bit read/write of SD_CTL whenever only stripe or other bits of
corresponding byte need to be updated. Also HD audio spec defines
SD_CTL as 3 byte register.

Platforms having multiple hdmi/dp sinks require higher bandwidth
to support simultaneous playbacks of higher resolution. If hda
controller supports multiple SDO lines, STRIPE can be used to
indicate how many of the SDO lines the stream should be striped
across.

During stream start stripe control bits are programmed to use given
number of sdo lines and the same is cleared during stream stop.

Program codec stripe through AC_VERB_SET_STRIPE_CONTROL to use multiple
sdo lines if supported. Audio needs to be striped across number of sdo
lines for simultaneous playbacks of higher resolutions to work.

Let's use 0x03 as the mask.  Also it's safer to clear the mask bits,
so something like:

	snd_hdac_stream_updateb(azx_dev, SD_CTL_3B,
				AZX_REG_SD_STRIPE_MASK, stripe_ctl);

Ditto.

This verb is supposed to be optional, hence it'd be safer to check the
widget capability before issuing.  I doubt whether all HDMI codecs
including the very old one support this verb.

Sorry for the naive question.
Could you please point me to a reference how cover letter for a patch 
should look like?

Thanks,
Sameer.

An easy way would be to create it via git format-patch --cover-letter
option.  Then describe what this patchset provides, and more
importantly, why this is needed.  More background that isn't included
in each patch description, or some additional notes, as well as the
information like what's different from the previous submission can be
put there.

Look through ML archives.  The post with "[PATCH 0/N]" is usually a
cover letter.

Also, for the second submission, don't forget to put a version number
to the subject prefix, e.g. [PATCH v2 0/5].


HTH,

Takashi
