Davinci McASP has support for I2S multichannel playback.
For I2S playback/receive, each serializer is capable to play 2 channels
(L/R) audio data.Serializer function (Playback-receive-none) is configured
in DT, depending on hardware specification. It is possible to play less
channels than configured in DT. For that purpose,only specific number of
active serializers are enabled. McASP FIFO need to have DMA transfer Bcnt
set to number of enabled serializers, otherwise no data are transfered to
McASP and Alsa generates "DMA/IRQ playback write error (DMA or IRQ trouble?)"
error. For TDM mode, McASP is capable to play or receive 32 channels for one
serializer. McAsp has support for max 16 serializer, therefore max channels
is 32 * 8.

Ok, I successfully tested this now, and it seems to work fine. You can
take my

  Tested-by: Daniel Mack <zonque@gmail.com>

One thing that has to be considered by users of the driver is that the
'serial-dir' DT property has to contain enough '1' entries for
multichannel playback (or enough '2's for multichannel record). So this
information is not actually something that describes the hardware, but
rather some resource that can be and should be allocated dynamically by
the driver at run-time. Should we consider dropping this property?



Thanks,
Daniel

Applied, thanks.

I am slightly surprised by the TDM slots being in DT but then it's
already there so no problem for this patch.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for testing.

Not really, ' serial-dir' also  configures specific serializer binded with 
certain AXR pin . That means, when you have harware, which do not have aviable 
AXR0, you can enable other ARX pin.  

example:

serial-dir = <  1 0 0 0 >; /* 0: INACTIVE, 1: TX, 2: RX */ 
// activate serializer 0, active pin ARX0 in Transmit mode, first audio 
// channels are played on ARX0 pin 

serial-dir = < 0 1 1 2 >; /* 0: INACTIVE, 1: TX, 2: RX */ 
// activate serializer 1,2,3 active pin ARX1 in TX mode, ARX2, in TX mode, 
// ARX3 in RX mode

In this case, if you are using TDM mode with 2 slots, first two channels will 
be played on ARX1 and second two on ARX2. 

McAsp fills data for serializers in loop (receive and playback has separate 
loop), so if you have configuration:

serial-dir = < 1 2 0 1 >; /* 0: INACTIVE, 1: TX, 2: RX */ 
// first two channels are played on ARX0 pin, and second two on ARX3

Best,
Michal
