[RFC PATCH 1/2] soundwire: add support for static port mapping
Some of the soundwire controllers can have static functions assigned
to each port, like some ports can only do PCM or PDM. This is the situation
with some of the Qualcomm Controllers.
In such cases its not correct to assign/map any free port on master
during streaming.
So, this patch provides a way to pass mapped port number along
with the port config, so that master can assign correct ports based
on the provided static mapping.

That is correct, but in this case a stream consists of one master and one or more slave devices. This is not a multi-master design.

But if the mapping depends on the value of mixer controls as you describe it, then it's not static and defined by DT settings, but run-time defined. I think there is some miss understanding here, the mapping is static but the port selection is based on the mixer controls! Also maybe we'd want to have a more opaque way of passing the information, maybe with a stream private data or a callback, instead of hard-coding fields that are only used by Qualcomm.

This is a static/worst-case allocation, we don't reassign ports depending on use-cases, etc. The only thing that is dynamic is that the programming of each port is handled based on the bandwidth needs of that port, i.e if you play 16 or 24 bits you'd get fewer or more bitSlots allocated to that dai/port, and the DPn registers are updated if you have concurrent streaming on other ports. If you only have a fixed set of payloads, as in the existing amplifier cases, you can hard-code this allocation as well. Does this help and can you align on what Intel started with?

Am preparing patches for a new QCOM codec driver WCD938x (TX and RX) connected via Soundwire, Port allocations are something like this: RX: (Simple) Port 1 -> HPH L/R Port 2 -> CLASS H Amp Port 3 -> COMP Port 4 -> DSD. TX: (This get bit more complicated) Port 1: PCM Port 2: ADC 1 & 2 Port 3: ADC 3 & 4 Port 4: DMIC-0, DMIC-1, DIMC-2 , DMIC-3 and MBHC Port 5: DMIC-4, DMIC-5, DMIC-6 and DMIC-7 We handle the port allocation dynamically based on mixer and dapm widgets in my code! Also channel allocations are different for each function! Does this help and can you align on what Intel started with? Firstly, This is where the issue comes, if we go with the suggested(dai->id) solution, we would end up with a long list of dai-links with different combinations of both inputs/output connections and usecases. Again we have to deal with limited DSP resources too! Secondly, The check [1] in stream.c will not allow more than one master port config to be added to master runtime. Ex: RX Port 1, 2, 3 is used for Headset Playback. But if we have a static mapping table of the ports then this will provide more flexibility to codec driver! And we can dynamically select ports based on the usecase or active dapm path! --srini [1]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/soundwire/stream.c?h=v5.11-rc4#n1294

Currently we have below check in sdw_stream_add_master().

Sorry, I must be thick here, but in my experience the choice of Digital
or analog mics is a hardware design level not a use-case one. Using ADC
1 & 2 at the same time as DMICs is very surprising to me. You'd have
different sensitivities/performance, not sure how you would combine the
results.
I also don't see how a headset mic can both use Analog and digital,
unless we have a different definition of what a 'headset' is.
Does this help and can you align on what Intel started with?

if you use multiple ports in a given master for the same stream, you
should have the m_rt_count == 1. That's a feature, not a bug.
A port is not a stream... You cannot call sdw_stream_add_master() for
each port, that's not what the concept was. You allocate ONE master_rt
per master, and that master_rt deals with one or more ports - your choice.
A 'stream' is an abstract data transport which can be split across
multiple masters/sales and for each master/slave use multiple ports.
When calling sdw_stream_add_master/slave, you need to provide a
port_config/num_ports to state which ports will be used on that
master/slave when using the stream. That's how we e.g. deal with 4ch
streams that are handled by two ports on each side.
To up-level a bit, the notion of 'stream' is actually very very similar
to the notion of dailink. And in fact, the 'stream' is actually created
for Intel in the dailink .startup callback, so I am quite in the dark on
what you are trying to accomplish.

In this particular case, ADC2 on Port2 is used along with the MBHC(Multi
Button and Headset Detection) channel on Master Port4. This is intended
for Headset Button Click Suppression!. This again can be dynamically
selected based on if headset button Click Suppression is enabled or not.
So this is not really mixing ADC with DMICs here!

Port 2-Port 3: ADC 3 & 4
Port 3-Port 4: DMIC-0, DMIC-1, DIMC-2 , DMIC-3 and MBHC
Port 4-Port 5: DMIC-4, DMIC-5, DMIC-6 and DMIC-7
Mapping is still static however Number of ports selection and channel
mask will be dynamic here.
Example: for Headset MIC usecase we will be using Slv Port1, Slv
Port3 along with Mstr Port2 and Master Port4
Similarly for usecases like Digital MIC or other Analog MICs.
Sorry, I must be thick here, but in my experience the choice of
Digital or analog mics is a hardware design level not a use-case one.
Using ADC 1 & 2 at the same time as DMICs is very surprising to me.
You'd have different sensitivities/performance, not sure how you would
combine the results.
In this particular case, ADC2 on Port2 is used along with the MBHC(Multi
Button and Headset Detection) channel on Master Port4. This is intended
for Headset Button Click Suppression!. This again can be dynamically
selected based on if headset button Click Suppression is enabled or not.
The question is whether the ADC2 and MBHC ports convey data for the same
'stream'. If they need to be synchronous, they have to be part of the
same stream and triggered at the same time.
we don't have the ability to change the stream definition at run-time
when an ALSA control value changes. The only thing you could do is
enabled it always, and drop the data on the floor inside of the master
if/when the control value changes.
Firstly, This is where the issue comes, if we go with the
suggested(dai->id) solution, we would end up with a long list of
dai-links with different combinations of both inputs/output
connections and usecases. Again we have to deal with limited DSP
resources too!
Like I said above, your ability to reconfigure is limited, and you may
have to stop/start streaming if you want to optimize allocation.
Secondly, The check [1] in stream.c will not allow more than one
master port config to be added to master runtime. Ex: RX Port 1, 2,
3 is used for Headset Playback.
I am confused here, we do have examples in existing codec drivers
where we use multiple ports for a single stream, e.g. for IV
feedback we use 2 ports.
Is this on multi_link? which is why it might be working for you.
no, this is done at the codec driver level, which has no notion of
multi-link. we pass a port_config as a array of 2.
Am referring to sdw_stream_add_master() not sdw_stream_add_slave().
It doesn't matter, it's the same concept that for a given stream, you
tell the device which ports will be used.
The API is quasi-identical, in the master case the bus/master/link are
the same concept.
int sdw_stream_add_master(struct sdw_bus *bus,
struct sdw_stream_config *stream_config,
struct sdw_port_config *port_config,
unsigned int num_ports,
struct sdw_stream_runtime *stream)
int sdw_stream_add_slave(struct sdw_slave *slave,
struct sdw_stream_config *stream_config,
struct sdw_port_config *port_config,
unsigned int num_ports,
struct sdw_stream_runtime *stream)
Currently we have below check in sdw_stream_add_master().
if (!bus->multi_link && stream->m_rt_count > 0) {
dev_err(bus->dev, "Multilink not supported, link %d\n",
bus->link_id);
ret = -EINVAL;
goto unlock;
}
If we have single master(like my case) and dai-links which have more
then one port will be calling sdw_stream_add_master() for each
port, so m_rt_count above check will fail for the second call!
if you use multiple ports in a given master for the same stream, you
should have the m_rt_count == 1. That's a feature, not a bug.
A port is not a stream... You cannot call sdw_stream_add_master() for
each port, that's not what the concept was. You allocate ONE master_rt
Am looking at intel_hw_params(). Isn't sdw_stream_add_master() called
for every dai in the dai link.
Yes, that's correct, but again a dai may use one or more ports.
if you defined each port as a dai, and want to call
sdw_stream_add_master() for each port you are doing something the API
was not designed for. There is a 'num_ports' argument for a reason :-)
per master, and that master_rt deals with one or more ports - your
choice. >
A 'stream' is an abstract data transport which can be split across
multiple masters/sales and for each master/slave use multiple ports.
When calling sdw_stream_add_master/slave, you need to provide a
port_config/num_ports to state which ports will be used on that
master/slave when using the stream. That's how we e.g. deal with 4ch
streams that are handled by two ports on each side.
To up-level a bit, the notion of 'stream' is actually very very
similar to the notion of dailink. And in fact, the 'stream

All this patch is trying do is the pass this *CURRENT/ACTIVE* static port mapping between slave and master while setting up the stream.

This is really about streaming data across a bus, and we are limited on what we can do. It's the same problem that we never modify the number of channels dynamically on a PCM device.

No, what I was saying is that you need to define multiple streams e.g. - headset capture (configured with or without click suppression) - mic capture (configured with AMICs or DMICs) - playback (or possibly different endpoint specific streams depending on whether concurrency between endpoint is possible) if you change the configuration, you have to tear down the stream and reconfigure it - and for this we already have the required API and you can guarantee that the configuration for that stream is consistent between master and slave(s).
