Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ASoC: fsl: fsl_ssi: add ac97 fixed mode support
Date: Mon,  5 Oct 2020 13:16:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201005111644.3131604-1-primoz.fiser@norik.com> (raw)

SSI supports "variable" and "fixed" mode of operation in AC'97 mode. Up
to now, driver always configured SSI port to operate in "variable" AC'97
mode which is known to be unreliable with some CODECs, see:
commit 01ca485171e3 ("ASoC: fsl_ssi: only enable proper channel slots in
AC'97 mode") for more information on issues related to spurious SLOTREQ
bits. But in summary, when SSI operates in AC'97 variable mode of
operation, CODECs can sometimes send SLOTREQ bits for non-existent audio
slots which then "stick" in SSI and completely break audio output.
Contrary when operating SSI in AC'97 fixed mode, described issues were
completely gone!

Thus add support for operating SSI in AC'97 Fixed Mode of operation
which provides better audio reliability when compared to AC'97 Variable
Mode with some CODECs.
