======================= HD-Audio DP-MST Support ======================= To support DP MST audio, HD Audio hdmi codec driver introduces virtual pin and dynamic pcm assignment. Virtual pin is an extension of per_pin. The most difference of DP MST from legacy is that DP MST introduces device entry. Each pin can contain several device entries. Each device entry behaves as a pin. As each pin may contain several device entries and each codec may contain several pins, if we use one pcm per per_pin, there will be many PCMs. The new solution is to create a few PCMs and to dynamically bind pcm to per_pin. Driver uses spec->dyn_pcm_assign flag to indicate whether to use the new solution. PCM === To be added Jack ==== Presume: - MST must be dyn_pcm_assign, and it is acomp (for Intel scenario); - NON-MST may or may not be dyn_pcm_assign, it can be acomp or !acomp; So there are the following scenarios: a. MST (&& dyn_pcm_assign && acomp) b. NON-MST && dyn_pcm_assign && acomp c. NON-MST && !dyn_pcm_assign && !acomp Below discussion will ignore MST and NON-MST difference as it doesn't impact on jack handling too much. Driver uses struct hdmi_pcm pcm[] array in hdmi_spec and snd_jack is a member of hdmi_pcm. Each pin has one struct hdmi_pcm * pcm pointer. For !dyn_pcm_assign, per_pin->pcm will assigned to spec->pcm[n] statically. For dyn_pcm_assign, per_pin->pcm will assigned to spec->pcm[n] when monitor is hotplugged. Build Jack ---------- - dyn_pcm_assign Will not use hda_jack but use snd_jack in spec->pcm_rec[pcm_idx].jack directly. - !dyn_pcm_assign Use hda_jack and assign spec->pcm_rec[pcm_idx].jack = jack->jack statically. Unsolicited Event Enabling -------------------------- Enable unsolicited event if !acomp. Monitor Hotplug Event Handling ------------------------------ - acomp pin_eld_notify() -> check_presence_and_report() -> hdmi_present_sense() -> sync_eld_via_acomp(). Use directly snd_jack_report() on spec->pcm_rec[pcm_idx].jack for both dyn_pcm_assign and !dyn_pcm_assign - !acomp hdmi_unsol_event() -> hdmi_intrinsic_event() -> check_presence_and_report() -> hdmi_present_sense() -> hdmi_prepsent_sense_via_verbs() Use directly snd_jack_report() on spec->pcm_rec[pcm_idx].jack for dyn_pcm_assign. Use hda_jack mechanism to handle jack events. Others to be added later ======================== |
