Due to channels_max and channels_min in the bcm2835_i2s_dai structure,
the channel guard code in bcm2835_i2s_hw_params is redundant.
The bcm2835_i2s_hw_params function checks that the channel count is
2 before continuing. This code never gets executed because core soc
checks prevent the execution (upon channel mismatch) of the
bcm2835_i2s_hw_params function.
The redundancy has been tested and checked for the case when
the bcm2835_i2s_dai structure has channels_max = 2 and a request
for 8 channels has been made. The test has confirmed that the
removed code is redundant as it never gets executed when a
channel mismatch occurs.
This redundant channel count check may seem like it will not cause
any problems however some sound cards (such as the 8 channel
AudioInjector Octo sound card) require the execution of the
bcm2835_i2s_hw_params function when channels_max in the
bcm2835_i2s_dai structure has been increased to 8.
As the channel checking code in bcm2835_i2s_hw_params is redundant
and stops certain cards from working it has been removed.

This hasn't had any airplay since posting 5 days ago.
Can anyone advise on the correct person to contact regarding the review
of this patch ?
thanks

Due to channels_max and channels_min in the bcm2835_i2s_dai structure,
the channel guard code in bcm2835_i2s_hw_params is redundant.
The bcm2835_i2s_hw_params function checks that the channel count is
2 before continuing. This code never gets executed because core soc
checks prevent the execution (upon channel mismatch) of the
bcm2835_i2s_hw_params function.
The redundancy has been tested and checked for the case when
the bcm2835_i2s_dai structure has channels_max = 2 and a request
for 8 channels has been made. The test has confirmed that the
removed code is redundant as it never gets executed when a
channel mismatch occurs.
This redundant channel count check may seem like it will not cause
any problems however some sound cards (such as the 8 channel
AudioInjector Octo sound card) require the execution of the
bcm2835_i2s_hw_params function when channels_max in the
bcm2835_i2s_dai structure has been increased to 8.
As the channel checking code in bcm2835_i2s_hw_params is redundant
and stops certain cards from working it has been removed.

If those cards add support for higher channel counts they should be
adding real support for that in the driver, not just hacking out
defensive code. If the device can usefully do 8 channels then modify
the driver to do 8 channels. Otherwise people are going to need to
modify the driver anyway to remove the limits in the constraints.

Indeed the AudioInjector Octo sound card is currently operating @ 8
channels out on the bcm2835 silicon. It has been tested on both the Pi 2
and Pi 3.
Do you mean that I should increase bcm2835_i2s_dai.channels_max to 8 ?
I can do this. Does anyone have any objections to this approach ?
thanks

Yes, implementing it properly is fine.
