[PATCH v3] ASoC: simple-card-utils: add sysclk ordering support
From: Stefano Radaelli
Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 06:28:48 EST
From: Stefano Radaelli <stefano.r@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When simple-audio-card programs sysclk for CPU and codec DAIs during
hw_params, the ordering of these calls may matter on some platforms.
Some CPU DAIs finalize or adjust the MCLK rate as part of their
set_sysclk() callback (for example by calling clk_set_rate()). If the
codec sysclk is configured before the CPU DAI applies the final MCLK
rate, the codec may configure its internal clocking based on a
non-final MCLK value.
Such situations can arise depending on the clock provider/consumer
relationship between the CPU DAI and the codec.
Introduce an explicit sysclk ordering enum in simple-card-utils and use
it to control the order of snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk() calls in the mclk-fs
handling path. The default behaviour remains unchanged (codec-first)
to avoid regressions.

v3:
- DT flag not applicable, not a hardware configuration
- Introduced enum to support order configuration
v2:
- Do not change the default sysclk ordering
- Make the ordering selectable via DT flag
- Add DT binding documentation

v1:
- Changed sysclk order, cpu first, then codec
