[RFC PATCH v3 1/4] ASoC: soc-card: export snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked

[Shengjiu Wang]

snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked can be used for the DPCM case
that Front-End needs to get the unused platform component but
added by Back-End cpu dai driver.

If the component is gotten, then we can get the dma chan created
by Back-End component and reused it in Front-End.

[RFC PATCH v3 3/4] ASoC: fsl_asrc_dma: Reuse the dma channel if available in Back-End

[Shengjiu Wang]

The dma channel has been requested by Back-End cpu dai driver already.
If fsl_asrc_dma requests dma chan with same dma:tx symlink, then
there will be below warning with SDMA.

[   48.174236] fsl-esai-dai 2024000.esai: Cannot create DMA dma:tx symlink

So if we can reuse the dma channel of Back-End, then the issue can be
fixed.

In order to get the dma channel which is already requested in Back-End.
we use the exported two functions (snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked
and soc_component_to_pcm). If we can get the dma channel, then reuse it,
if can't, then request a new one.

[RFC PATCH v3 4/4] ASoC: fsl_asrc_dma: Fix data copying speed issue with EDMA

[Shengjiu Wang]

With EDMA, there is two dma channels can be used for dev_to_dev,
one is from ASRC, one is from another peripheral (ESAI or SAI).

If we select the dma channel of ASRC, there is an issue for ideal
ratio case, the speed of copy data is faster than sample
frequency, because ASRC output data is very fast in ideal ratio
mode.

So it is reasonable to use the dma channel of Back-End peripheral.
then copying speed of DMA is controlled by data consumption
speed in the peripheral FIFO,

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
