Since the edma dmaengine driver implements the slave cap API there is no need
to manually specify SND_DMAENGINE_PCM_FLAG_NO_RESIDUE manually. But since the
edma driver sets the granularity to DMA_RESIDUE_GRANULARITY_DESCRIPTOR in this
case the generic dmaengine will not set SND_DMAENGINE_PCM_FLAG_NO_RESIDUE
automatically since it assumes that the dmaengine driver is capable of
properly reporting the DMA position.


Hrm, I see. For eDMA I think we can support DMA_RESIDUE_GRANULARITY_SEGMENT
granularity. Since according to the documentation the _SEGMENT means that the
DMA position will be updated per periods, which is basically the same thing
what we are doing at the moment when the granularity is
DMA_RESIDUE_GRANULARITY_DESCRIPTOR.
 From ALSA point of view at least they are the same: neither of them can report
exact position, the DMA pointer jumps from period to period.

IMHO in the generic dmaengine PCM we should set the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BATCH for
both cases.



Ups, sorry mixed up DMA_RESIDUE_GRANULARITY_SEGMENT and 
DMA_RESIDUE_GRANULARITY_DESCRIPTOR. You can just remove the 
SND_DMAENGINE_PCM_FLAG_NO_RESIDUE when registering the dmaengine PCM driver 
and everything will still work as expected.

The idea is that we can auto-discover all the things using the
dma_slave_caps API. Too bad we removed the possibility to specify the
maximum number of segments from the API. Maybe we need to add it back. Is
the 19 a hard-limit or could it be worked around by software in the
dmaengine driver?


The edma dmaengine driver will refuse to configure more than 20 paRAM slots (1
for the channel + 19 for the periods). Depending on the SoC we might have
different number of paRAM entries available. The intention with the limit was
to prevent cases when we run out of paRAM entires for other devices because
audio took most of them.


The reason why we removed the max_segments field from the slave_caps struct 
was because we though it should be possible to, even when the hardware only 
supports a fixed amount of segments, emulate support for more in software. 
If this is not the case with the edma, we need to bring this field back.

I'd rather keep this here. Since I have the .pcm_hardware the core will ignore
the snd_pcm_hardware.buffer_bytes_max when preallocating and it is in fact
going to go for:
prealloc_buffer_size = 512 * 1024;
max_buffer_size = SIZE_MAX;

While I have 128 * 1024 for the snd_pcm_hardware.buffer_bytes_max.

I think as long as I have the .pcm_hardware provided from the edma-pcm driver
I will have the .prealloc_buffer_size as well.

I have missed these in the core. Makes the code simpler for sure.

I forgot about the devm_ version. True, I'll use that instead.

There is no need for different configs for DT and non-DT.

If you set the flags to just SND_DMAENGINE_PCM_FLAG_COMPAT it will do the 
right thing in the generic dmaengine driver depending on whether 
dev->of_node is set or not.



There is also a devm_ version of snd_dmaengine_pcm_register() it probably 
makes sense to use it here.
