[PATCH v7 00/14] drm/bridge: it6505: DP audio support + shared-DAI hw_params fix
From: Daniel Golle
Date: Thu Sep 24 2026 - 15:10:59 EST
Revive HDMI/DP audio support for the it6505, originally posted by
Jiaxin Yu [1], rebased onto current -next with the review feedback
addressed: &client->dev is gone (the driver gained it6505->dev) and
"#sound-dai-cells" has since been added by commit 325af1bef5b9
("dt-bindings: display: bridge: it6505: Add #sound-dai-cells").
Patches 1-12 fix pre-existing bugs found during review of earlier
versions of this series; they carry Fixes: tags and are ordered first
so stable trees can pick them.
Patch 13 wires up the it6505 audio helpers via hdmi_codec_ops,
unblocking the mt8186-mt6366 sound card which references it6505 as
the I2S3 codec. Patch 14 makes hw_params succeed with no display
attached, needed when the I2S bus is shared with another codec as on
MT8186 "steelix" Chromebooks, where the speaker path must keep
working regardless of the it6505 link state.
Tested on a MT8186 (google,steelix) Chromebook: the sound card comes
up, speakers, microphone and headset jack work. HDMI/DP audio output
itself could not be tested for lack of a suitable adapter cable.

v7:
* new patch 2: cancel link_works, hdcp_wait_ksv_list and hdcp_work
in it6505_poweroff() so link training and HDCP authentication
cannot run into a chip being powered off; pre-existing, found
while assessing the Sashiko AI review of v6
* patch 13 (was 12): it6505_poweroff() clears the powered flag
under audio_lock, closing the race between the codec ops and a
concurrent power-off flagged by the Sashiko AI review of v6; the
it6505_enable_audio() wrapper is folded into the delayed work
* the remaining v6 review findings are already fixed by later
patches of this series (patches 3, 4, 6, 8, 11 and 12), concern
pre-existing code outside its scope (whole-register restore in
it6505_audio_input(), unchecked reads in it6505_aux_i2c_wait()
and it6505_calc_video_info(), regulator disable order) or do not
apply (AUX unregister on unbind, missing newline in dev_err())
* rebased onto next-20260923
* patches 1, 3-12 and 14: no changes
v6:
* patch 1: track notifier registration in a flag instead of
clearing notifier_call, which a chain traversal racing the
unregistration could have called as NULL (extcon traverses its
raw notifier chain unlocked); flagged by Sashiko AI review of v5.
The in-flight-callback race also flagged there is an extcon core
limitation affecting all its consumers and cannot be closed from
a consumer driver.
* patch 4: note that a failed regulator_disable() leaks the
reference either way
* new patches 10 and 11: two more pre-existing fixes from v5
review, an uninitialised link-frequencies value and an error
code written back to the reset register
* patches 2, 3, 5-9, 12 and 13: no changes
v5:
* patch 1: serialise notifier registration state with extcon_lock
* patch 2: also drop the runtime PM usage ref held for a connected
display; retitled
* new patches 3-7 and 9: more pre-existing fixes from v4 review
(AUX unregister symmetry, poweroff error path, IRQ status read
errors, two divisions by zero, of_node_put before use)
* patch 10 (was 4): update plugged_cb/codec_dev under mode_lock
* patches 8 and 11: no changes
v4:
* patch 1: quiesce extcon notifier and IRQ before cancelling work,
initialise extcon_wq in probe; retitled
* new patch 2: disable runtime PM on remove
* patch 3 (was 2): collected Chen-Yu Tsai's Reviewed-by
* patch 4 (was 3): start out muted; mute state and cached
parameters updated under audio_lock; unregister codec after
quiesce
* patch 5 (was 4): apply audio defaults at probe time
v3:
* new patches 1 and 2, fixing a pre-existing use-after-free on
remove() and an out-of-bounds read with channel_count == 0
* patch 3 (was 1): serialise audio enable/disable with audio_lock;
track mute state so the FIFO-error IRQ cannot undo a mute
* patch 4 (was 2): no changes
v2:
* keep and unregister the hdmi-codec platform_device on remove
* initialise delayed_audio before registering the codec device
* cancel delayed_audio synchronously on shutdown and remove
* disable audio immediately when muting
* patch 2: drop the encoder check instead of returning 0 early
