 | SoundWire Subsystem Summary | 
 | =========================== | 
 |  | 
 | SoundWire is a new interface ratified in 2015 by the MIPI Alliance. | 
 | SoundWire is used for transporting data typically related to audio | 
 | functions. SoundWire interface is optimized to integrate audio devices in | 
 | mobile or mobile inspired systems. | 
 |  | 
 | SoundWire is a 2-pin multi-drop interface with data and clock line. It | 
 | facilitates development of low cost, efficient, high performance systems. | 
 | Broad level key features of SoundWire interface include: | 
 |  | 
 |  (1) Transporting all of payload data channels, control information, and setup | 
 |      commands over a single two-pin interface. | 
 |  | 
 |  (2) Lower clock frequency, and hence lower power consumption, by use of DDR | 
 |      (Dual Data Rate) data transmission. | 
 |  | 
 |  (3) Clock scaling and optional multiple data lanes to give wide flexibility | 
 |      in data rate to match system requirements. | 
 |  | 
 |  (4) Device status monitoring, including interrupt-style alerts to the Master. | 
 |  | 
 | The SoundWire protocol supports up to eleven Slave interfaces. All the | 
 | interfaces share the common Bus containing data and clock line. Each of the | 
 | Slaves can support up to 14 Data Ports. 13 Data Ports are dedicated to audio | 
 | transport. Data Port0 is dedicated to transport of Bulk control information, | 
 | each of the audio Data Ports (1..14) can support up to 8 Channels in | 
 | transmit or receiving mode (typically fixed direction but configurable | 
 | direction is enabled by the specification).  Bandwidth restrictions to | 
 | ~19.2..24.576Mbits/s don't however allow for 11*13*8 channels to be | 
 | transmitted simultaneously. |

 | two Slave devices. :: |

 | Terminology | 
 | =========== | 
 |  | 
 | The MIPI SoundWire specification uses the term 'device' to refer to a Master | 
 | or Slave interface, which of course can be confusing. In this summary and | 
 | code we use the term interface only to refer to the hardware. We follow the | 
 | Linux device model by mapping each Slave interface connected on the bus as a | 
 | device managed by a specific driver. The Linux SoundWire subsystem provides | 
 | a framework to implement a SoundWire Slave driver with an API allowing | 
 | 3rd-party vendors to enable implementation-defined functionality while | 
 | common setup/configuration tasks are handled by the bus. | 
 |  | 
 | Bus: | 
 | Implements SoundWire Linux Bus which handles the SoundWire protocol. | 
 | Programs all the MIPI-defined Slave registers. Represents a SoundWire | 
 | Master. Multiple instances of Bus may be present in a system. | 
 |  | 
 | Slave: | 
 | Registers as SoundWire Slave device (Linux Device). Multiple Slave devices | 
 | can register to a Bus instance. | 
 |  | 
 | Slave driver: | 
 | Driver controlling the Slave device. MIPI-specified registers are controlled | 
 | directly by the Bus (and transmitted through the Master driver/interface). | 
 | Any implementation-defined Slave register is controlled by Slave driver. In | 
 | practice, it is expected that the Slave driver relies on regmap and does not | 
 | request direct register access. | 
 |  | 
 | Programming interfaces (SoundWire Master interface Driver) | 
 | ========================================================== | 
 |  | 
 | SoundWire Bus supports programming interfaces for the SoundWire Master | 
 | implementation and SoundWire Slave devices. All the code uses the "sdw" | 
 | prefix commonly used by SoC designers and 3rd party vendors. | 
 |  | 
 | Each of the SoundWire Master interfaces needs to be registered to the Bus. | 
 | Bus implements API to read standard Master MIPI properties and also provides | 
 | callback in Master ops for Master driver to implement its own functions that | 
 | provides capabilities information. DT support is not implemented at this | 
 | time but should be trivial to add since capabilities are enabled with the | 
 | ``device_property_`` API. | 
 |  | 
 | The Master interface along with the Master interface capabilities are | 
 | registered based on board file, DT or ACPI. | 
 |  | 
 | Following is the Bus API to register the SoundWire Bus: | 
 |  | 
 | .. code-block:: c | 
 |  | 
 | 	int sdw_add_bus_master(struct sdw_bus *bus) | 
 | 	{ | 
 | 		if (!bus->dev) | 
 | 			return -ENODEV; | 
 |  | 
 | 		mutex_init(&bus->lock); | 
 | 		INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bus->slaves); | 
 |  | 
 | 		/* Check ACPI for Slave devices */ | 
 | 		sdw_acpi_find_slaves(bus); | 
 |  | 
 | 		/* Check DT for Slave devices */ | 
 | 		sdw_of_find_slaves(bus); | 
 |  | 
 | 		return 0; | 
 | 	} | 
 |  | 
 | This will initialize sdw_bus object for Master device. "sdw_master_ops" and | 
 | "sdw_master_port_ops" callback functions are provided to the Bus. | 
 |  | 
 | "sdw_master_ops" is used by Bus to control the Bus in the hardware specific | 
 | way. It includes Bus control functions such as sending the SoundWire | 
 | read/write messages on Bus, setting up clock frequency & Stream | 
 | Synchronization Point (SSP). The "sdw_master_ops" structure abstracts the | 
 | hardware details of the Master from the Bus. | 
 |  | 
 | "sdw_master_port_ops" is used by Bus to setup the Port parameters of the | 
 | Master interface Port. Master interface Port register map is not defined by | 
 | MIPI specification, so Bus calls the "sdw_master_port_ops" callback | 
 | function to do Port operations like "Port Prepare", "Port Transport params | 
 | set", "Port enable and disable". The implementation of the Master driver can | 
 | then perform hardware-specific configurations. | 
 |  | 
 | Programming interfaces (SoundWire Slave Driver) | 
 | =============================================== | 
 |  | 
 | The MIPI specification requires each Slave interface to expose a unique | 
 | 48-bit identifier, stored in 6 read-only dev_id registers. This dev_id | 
 | identifier contains vendor and part information, as well as a field enabling | 
 | to differentiate between identical components. An additional class field is | 
 | currently unused. Slave driver is written for a specific vendor and part | 
 | identifier, Bus enumerates the Slave device based on these two ids. | 
 | Slave device and driver match is done based on these two ids . Probe | 
 | of the Slave driver is called by Bus on successful match between device and | 
 | driver id. A parent/child relationship is enforced between Master and Slave | 
 | devices (the logical representation is aligned with the physical | 
 | connectivity). | 
 |  | 
 | The information on Master/Slave dependencies is stored in platform data, | 
 | board-file, ACPI or DT. The MIPI Software specification defines additional | 
 | link_id parameters for controllers that have multiple Master interfaces. The | 
 | dev_id registers are only unique in the scope of a link, and the link_id | 
 | unique in the scope of a controller. Both dev_id and link_id are not | 
 | necessarily unique at the system level but the parent/child information is | 
 | used to avoid ambiguity. | 
 |  | 
 | .. code-block:: c | 
 |  | 
 | 	static const struct sdw_device_id slave_id[] = { | 
 | 	        SDW_SLAVE_ENTRY(0x025d, 0x700, 0), | 
 | 	        {}, | 
 | 	}; | 
 | 	MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(sdw, slave_id); | 
 |  | 
 | 	static struct sdw_driver slave_sdw_driver = { | 
 | 	        .driver = { | 
 | 	                   .name = "slave_xxx", | 
 | 	                   .pm = &slave_runtime_pm, | 
 | 	                   }, | 
 | 		.probe = slave_sdw_probe, | 
 | 		.remove = slave_sdw_remove, | 
 | 		.ops = &slave_slave_ops, | 
 | 		.id_table = slave_id, | 
 | 	}; | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 | For capabilities, Bus implements API to read standard Slave MIPI properties | 
 | and also provides callback in Slave ops for Slave driver to implement own | 
 | function that provides capabilities information. Bus needs to know a set of | 
 | Slave capabilities to program Slave registers and to control the Bus | 
 | reconfigurations. | 
 |  | 
 | Future enhancements to be done | 
 | ============================== | 
 |  | 
 |  (1) Bulk Register Access (BRA) transfers. | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 |  (2) Multiple data lane support. |
