[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: sound: add Texas Instruments TAS2557
From: Gianluca Boiano
Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 19:34:46 EST
Document the TAS2557 mono Class-D smart amplifier with an integrated
DSP for speaker protection. The device is controlled over I2C and
receives audio over I2S/TDM (ASI). One node can describe either a
single mono device or, via a two-entry `reg`, a stereo pair sharing
one bus: the physical device at each `reg` index applies that half
(DEV_A/DEV_B) of a stereo-tuned firmware image, so no separate
channel-selection property is needed -- device order in `reg` is
the only configuration required, matching the convention already
used by ti,tas2781.yaml/ti,tas2563.yaml for the same TI firmware
toolchain. `ti,imon-slot-nos`/`ti,vmon-slot-nos` follow the same
per-index convention for the TDM sense-data slots. `reg` is capped
at two entries because the uCDSP firmware container only defines
mono or two-device (DEV_A/DEV_B) types -- there is no third slot to
extend into regardless of DT shape.
The on-chip DSP boots from a firmware image generated per speaker
design with the TI PurePath Console tuning tools; the optional
firmware-name property selects a board-specific image, shared by
every device in the group.
Addresses review from Krzysztof Kozlowski, who questioned a
per-node channel-selection property (an earlier ti,channel/
ti,audio-channel design) on the grounds that it doesn't scale and
isn't how other multi-device TI amplifiers in-tree solve the same
problem.

Changes in v3:
- single-node reg-array model (up to two devices), matching
ti,tas2781.yaml; drop ti,channel, derive DEV_A/DEV_B from reg order
- rename ti,imon-slot-no/ti,vmon-slot-no to the plural
ti,imon-slot-nos/ti,vmon-slot-nos arrays; firmware-name maxItems: 1
Changes in v2:
- add the four mandatory supplies to "required" (Wang Sen)

+description: |
+ The TAS2557 is a mono, digital-input Class-D amplifier with an
+ integrated DSP for speaker protection. Audio is carried over I2S/TDM
+ (ASI). The on-chip DSP boots from a firmware image that is generated
+ for a specific speaker design using the TI PurePath Console tuning
+ tools.
+
+ A single node describes either one physical TAS2557, or up to two of
+ them sharing one ASI bus and one reset/IRQ pair, using the same
+ reg-array convention as
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/ti,tas2781.yaml. When two
+ devices are listed, `reg` carries both I2C addresses and the
+ physical device at each index is implicitly assigned one half of a
+ stereo-tuned firmware image: the device at index 0 is DEV_A and the
+ device at index 1 is DEV_B. No explicit channel-selection property
+ exists or is needed -- the order of addresses in `reg` is the only
+ configuration required. `ti,imon-slot-nos` and `ti,vmon-slot-nos`
+ follow the same indexing: the item at array index N sets the TDM TX
+ slot used by the device at the Nth `reg` entry.
+
+ The uCDSP firmware format defines only the DEV_A and DEV_B device
+ types, so `reg` (and the two TDM slot properties) cannot list more
+ than two entries, regardless of how many physical speakers the board
+ has.
