The i2s block supports multi-lane i2s output however this
functionality
is only possible in earlier SoCs where the pins are exposed and for
the i2s block used for HDMI audio on the later SoCs.

To enable this functionality, an optional property has been added to
the bindings.

I'd like to have Mark's input on this, but I'm really worried about
the interaction with the proper TDM support.

Our fundamental issue is that the controller can have up to 8
channels, but either on 4 lines (instead of 1), or 8 channels on 1
(like proper TDM) (or any combination between the two, but that should
be pretty rare).
I understand...maybe the TDM needs to be extended to support this to
consider channel mapping and multiple transfer lines. I was thinking
about the later when someone was requesting support on IIRC a while
ago, I thought masking might of been a solution. These can wait as the
only consumer at the moment is LibreELEC and we can patch it there.
Hi Marcus,

FWIW, the TI McASP driver has support for TDM & (i think?) multiple
transfer lines which are called serializers.
Maybe this can help with inspiration?
see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/s
ound/soc/ti/davinci-mcasp.c sample DTS:

&mcasp0 {

    #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
    status = "okay";
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&mcasp0_pins>;
    
    op-mode = <0>;
    tdm-slots = <8>;
    serial-dir = <
    
        2 0 1 0
        0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0
    >
    >;
    
    tx-num-evt = <1>;
    rx-num-evt = <1>;

};


Cheers!
Thanks, this looks good.
I would really like to see this issue resolved, because HDMI audio support in 
mainline Linux for those SoCs is long overdue.

However, there is a possibility to still add HDMI audio suport (stereo only) 
even if this issue is not completely solved. If we agree that configuration of 
channels would be solved with additional property as Christopher suggested, 
support for >2 channels can be left for a later time when support for that 
property would be implemented. Currently, stereo HDMI audio support can be 
added with a few patches.

I think all I2S cores are really the same, no matter if internally connected 
to HDMI controller or routed to pins, so it would make sense to use same 
compatible for all of them. It's just that those I2S cores which are routed to 
pins can use only one lane and >2 channels can be used only in TDM mode of 
operation, if I understand this correctly.

New property would have to be optional, so it's omission would result in same 
channel configuration as it is already present, to preserve compatibility with 
old device trees. And this mode is already sufficient for stereo HDMI audio 
support.

Side note: HDMI audio with current sun4i-i2s driver has a delay (about a 
second), supposedly because DW HDMI controller automatically generates CTS 
value based on I2S clock (auto CTS value generation is enabled per DesignWare 
recomendation for DW HDMI I2S interface). I2S driver from BSP Linux solves 
that by having I2S clock output enabled all the time. Should this be flagged 
with some additional property in DT?

Best regards,
Jernej

Do you have any ideas Master?

You're trying to do the first one, and I'm trying to do the second
one.

There's a number of assumptions later on that will break the TDM case,
see below for examples

And this creates a mapping matching that.

I'm not quite sure how this works.

of_property_read_u32 will return 0, so you will enter in the
condition. But what happens if the property is missing?
