sound updates for 4.1-rc1
There have been major modernization with the standard bus: in ALSA
sequencer core and HD-audio. Also, HD-audio receives the regmap
support replacing the in-house cache register cache code. These
changes shouldn't impact the existing behavior, but rather
refactoring.
In addition, HD-audio got the code split to a core library part and
the "legacy" driver parts. This is a preliminary work for adapting
the upcoming ASoC HD-audio driver, and the whole transition is still
work in progress, likely finished in 4.1.
Along with them, there are many updates in ASoC area as usual, too:
lots of cleanups, Intel code shuffling, etc.
Here are some highlights:
ALSA core:
- PCM: the audio timestamp / wallclock enhancement
- PCM: fixes in DPCM management
- Fixes / cleanups of user-space control element management
- Sequencer: modernization using the standard bus
HD-audio:
- Modernization using the standard bus
- Regmap support
- Use standard runtime PM for codec power saving
- Widget-path based power-saving for IDT, VIA and Realtek codecs
- Reorganized sysfs entries for each codec object
- More Dell headset support
ASoC:
- Move of jack registration to the card level
- Lots of ASoC cleanups, mainly moving things from the CODEC level
to the card level
- Support for DAPM routes specified by both the machine driver and DT
- Continuing improvements to rcar
- pcm512x enhacements
- Intel platforms updates
- rt5670 updates / fixes
- New platforms / devices: some non-DSP Qualcomm platforms, Google's
Storm platform, Maxmim MAX98925 CODECs and the Ingenic JZ4780 SoC
Misc:
- ice1724: Improved ESI W192M support
- emu10k1: Emu 1010 fixes/enhancement
ALSA: hda - set GET bit when adding a vendor verb to the codec regmap
Some HD-A codecs may add their own vendor 'set' verb to the regmap, thru func
snd_hdac_add_vendor_verb(). This patch sets the GET bit (bit 11) when adding
the verb so that its peer vendor 'get' verb is actually added. This can avoid
I/O error when writing the 'set' verb thru remap, since HD-A regmap internally
looks up a writable vendor verb with GET bit set at first.
