Re: [PATCH v3] arm64: dts: rockchip: add SPDIF node for rk3399-rockpro64

Hello Heiko, Johan,

This is ping... How about Johan's question?

Question for the maintainer:
Should we add a SPDIF node if the connector is not physical on a board,
only a header?

If we don't need to add nodes for sound I/F that has only header not
physical on a board, we should drop this patch and also remove I2S0
because I2S0 has no physical connector on a board.

Additionally, I2S1 share the I2S_CLK pin with I2S0. So ROCKPro64 users
perhaps cannot use I2S0 and I2S1 (for ES8316) at same time. If users
try to use I2S1 after I2S0, I2S1 overwrites clock setting and I2S0
will face strange behavior.

I don't know why ROCKPro64 has such strange pin implementation...


For Johan:

Sorry for late reply. Thank you for your review.
And I agree with you renaming sound nodes.

- HDMI
- ES8316 (or "Analog" is more useful for media player SW??)
- SPDIF (if we need)


Best Regards,
Katsuhiro Suzuki

Thanks Katsuhiro for the "aplay -l" screen print.

This patch adds 'disabled' SPDIF sound node and related settings
of SPDIF for rk3399-rockpro64.

RockPro64 has output pins for SPDIF Tx. But RK3399 does not have
enough DMA channel for enabling SPDIF tx. Current settings are:

- I2S0 (Req num 0, 1): Enabled : Output to 40pins header CON40
- I2S1 (Req num 2, 3): Enabled : Output to ES8316 on board
- I2S2 (Req num 4, 5): Enabled : Output to internal HDMI core
- SPDIF Tx (Req num 7) : Disabled: Output to connector J10

If users want to enable ALL sound I/Os, we need 7 DMA channels for
it. But unfortunately, RK3399 has only 6 DMA channels. So users have
to choose from the following:

- Disable one of I2S (Ex. I2S0) and enable SPDIF tx
- Keep enable I2S0/1/2 and disable SPDIF tx

This would be the second sound card with the same label.
It seems that aplay/linux? adds "-1" to it and removes the comma, so we get:

hdmisound
rockchiprk3399
rockchiprk339_1

Shouldn't we label it with something that reflect the function/output.
Shouldn't we standardize to SPDIF, HDMI and Analog similar to rk3318/rk3328?
Make a shorter label without spaces or special chars, so that chars
don't get removed?

Proposal:

HDMI
ES8316
SPDIF

Maybe disable too?

The "sound-dit" node is standard enabled and will start some process
with a dia in a node that is disabled.
