[ALSA] ASoC: core code

Browse Source

This patch is the core of ASoC functionality.
The ASoC core is designed to provide the following features :-
o  Codec independence. Allows reuse of codec drivers on other platforms
and machines.
o Platform driver code reuse. Reuse of platform specific audio DMA and
DAI drivers on different machines.
o Easy I2S/PCM digital audio interface configuration between codec and
SoC. Each SoC interface and codec registers their audio interface
capabilities with the core at initialisation. The capabilities are
subsequently matched and configured at run time for best power and
performance when the application hw params are known.
 o Machine specific controls/operations: Allow machines to add controls
and operations to the audio subsystem. e.g. volume control for speaker
amp.
To achieve all this, ASoC splits an embedded audio system into 3
components :-
1. Codec driver: The codec driver is platform independent and contains
audio controls, audio interface capabilities, codec dapm and codec IO
functions.
2. Platform driver: The platform driver contains the audio dma engine
and audio interface drivers (e.g. I2S, AC97, PCM) for that platform.
3. Machine driver: The machine driver handles any machine specific
controls and audio events. i.e. turning on an amp at start of playback.
