Hi,
We have seen cases when the delay reporting unexpectedly behaves incorrectly,
counters are not counting in hardware registers under seemingly random
conditions.
It turned out that there are few cases that the driver must handle in order
to make sure that LLP, PPLC counters are working correctly:
- non-alt links must not be reset during probe
- Concurrent (cross-direction) hazard: when SoundWire shares a physical
link DMA stream index with HDaudio, iDisp or UAOL across the two
directions, the LLP and timestamp values for the affected stream are
wrong. SSP and DMIC are not affected because every DMA request from
those links carries one sample block.
- Sequential (playback only) hazard: once a HDaudio or iDisp link has
used a playback stream index, that index cannot drive any non
HDA/iDisp link in the same direction until the next controller
reset (CRST#).
For users the impact was not visible as the link counter issue only affected
the delay reporting which already have defensive path to filter out
incorrect delays and the DSP caused delay for normal PCMs are negligible to
cause A/V sync issues for example.
Regards,
Peter
