[PATCH v2 1/2] soundwire: bus: Don't zero page registers after every transaction

From: Richard Fitzgerald
Date: Mon Jan 23 2023 - 11:50:08 EST


Zeroing the page registers at the end of every paged transaction is just
overhead (40% overhead on a 1-register access, 25% on a 4-register
transaction). According to the spec a peripheral that supports paging
should only use the values in the page registers if the address is paged
(address bit 15 set). The core SoundWire code always writes the page
registers at the start of a paged transaction so there will never be a
transaction that uses the stale values from a previous paged transaction.

For peripherals that need large amounts of data to be transferred, for
example firmware or filter coefficients, the overhead of page register
zeroing can become quite significant.
