[PATCH 2/2] soundwire: Assume default maximum valid channel if not specified
From: Charles Keepax
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 12:39:34 EST
The SDCA specification defines all the supported channel properties
as optional and states that in the case none are specified defaults
of min_ch=0 and max_ch=7 should be used. If both properties are
not present in the DisCo the current code results in min_ch=0 and
max_ch=0. As min_ch and max_ch are both channel indexes, users can't
discern if they should interpret this as the default case (1-8
channels supported) or the DisCo specified a single valid channel of
0 (1 channel supported).
In the case there are no valid supported channel properties populate
max_ch with 7 as the specification suggests, to avoid the ambiguity.
