[PATCH] ASoC: meson: aiu: fifo-spdif: soft reset the S/PDIF datapath on start/stop
From: Christian Hewitt
Date: Fri Jun 26 2026 - 04:04:51 EST
The I2S FIFO soft-resets its fast domain on start (AIU_RST_SOFT bit 0 +
AIU_I2S_SYNC read in aiu_fifo_i2s_trigger), mirroring the downstream
vendor driver's audio_out_i2s_enable(). The S/PDIF FIFO has no equivalent:
it only toggles the IEC958 DCU, so a stale datapath FIFO can be replayed,
producing the "machine gun noise" buffer underrun - on start when switching
outputs, and on stop when playback ends. The latter is audible on devices
with an always-on S/PDIF-fed DAC (e.g. the ES7144 on the WeTek Play2).
The vendor driver resets the IEC958 fast domain (AIU_RST_SOFT bit 2) on
both enable and disable (audio_hw_958_enable), and when reconfiguring
(audio_hw_958_reset clears AIU_958_DCU_FF_CTRL then resets). Do the same:
reset before enabling the DCU on start, and after disabling it on stop.
