OMAP2+ platforms (like TI81xx, AM33xx) uses davinci-pcm driver. SRAM is
not needed/used in EDMA transfers for audio on such platforms. However
they do not provide generic SRAM APIs (sram_alloc() and sram_free()). In
such cases the pcm driver cannot be used directly as it results in
compilation failure on OMAP2 platforms.

Fix this by providing a config option to indicate missing SRAM API
support. This config is enabled by default on Davinci platform so as to
not break existing platforms. For OMAP2+ platforms, the config is
disabled.

Gentle ping. Is there any comments/review for this patch? 
If not, can this be pulled in?

I've been sitting on this mostly since it seems like a step back from
multi-platform kernels (which is where we're trying to get to) and I've
been trying to decide what the best approach is.  I'm thinking that we
do want a generic API for allocating this stuff, it's a fairly generic
feature (there's TCMs as well).  

Adding ifdefs like this does just doesn't seem good.

I have no knowledge about multi-platform builds yet.

Currently this driver is shared between OMAP & DaVinci and both of them 
doesn't exist in single image build.

There was a effort done for this SRAM Consolidation [1] but it didn't progress.
Hence I took this approach as a time-being/workaround. This was we can get 
affected platforms (like AM335x) get going/working.

...due to issues like having compile time things selecting between the
platforms.  In other words what these ifdefs would do is move us further
away from that goal rather than towards it as we should be doing.

Looks like it just needs more people pushing it...

I also agree that ifdef is not a good solution.
It is better to have this information passed as device_data and via DT it can
be decided based on the compatible property for the device.

How about converting to use genalloc instead of the DaVinci private SRAM
API and passing the pool to be used via platform data?

Matt Porter just used this approach to make the uio PRUSS driver usable
on both DaVinci and AM335x. It suffered from the exact same problem.

That's not really the problem here - the problem is that the APIs used
to get the SRAM are DaVinci only so it's not possible to build on OMAP
or other platforms.  The SRAM code needs to move to a standard API.

What about following Matt Porter's idea and ignore the SRAM code
entirely and port the entire PCM code to generic dmaengine code first?
The EDMA driver needs to learn support for cyclic DMA for that, and I
might give that a try in near future.

Later on, the SRAM ping-pong code can get added back using genalloc
functions, as Sekhar proposed. That needs to be done by someone who has
access to a Davinci board though, I only have a AM33xx/OMAP here.

We cannot "get rid" of SRAM code and add it back "later". It is required
for most DaVinci parts. The SRAM code can be converted to use genalloc
(conversion should be straightforward and I can help test it) and the
code that uses SRAM can probably keep using the private EDMA API till
the dmaengine EDMA driver has cyclic DMA support. Matt has already
posted patches to move private EDMA APIs to a common location. That
should keep AM335x build from breaking. Is this something that is feasible?

Thanks,
Sekhar

Yes - by "later" I just meant in a subsequent patch. But you're probably
right, we can also do that first.

I'm looking at that right now and the problem seems that we don't have a
sane way to dynamically look up gen_pools independently of the actual
run-time platform. All users of gen_pools seem to know which platform
they run on and access a platform-specific pool. So I don't currently
see how we could implement multi-platform code, gen_pools are fine but
don't solve the problem here.

Would it be an idea to add a char* member to gen_pools and a function
that can be used to dynamically look it up again? If a buffer with a
certain name exists, we can use it and install that ping-pong buffer,
otherwise we just don't. While that would be easy to do, it's a
tree-wide change.

Is there a better way that I miss?

The driver is going to be used by both !DT and DT only platforms for a
while so DT-centric solutions just don't make sense. There's a clean way
to do this that was used for uio_pruss.c. When davinci is further along
on DT conversion we can make use of the devicetree-based generic sram
driver that's progressing along right now [1]. It needs some minor help
to allow specifying the gen_pool allocation order, but it will work
nicely for getting access to the right sram pool.

I already backed away from that idea since the older SoCs without a
FIFO absolutely need ping-pong buffering in SRAM.

At the high level there's two platform models we have to handle, the
boot from board file !DT case, and then the boot from DT case. Since
Davinci is just starting DT conversion, we mostly care about the !DT
base in which the struct gen_pool * is passed in pdata to the ASoC
driver. It is then selectable on a per-platform basis where the decision
should be made.

Given a separate discussion with Sekhar, we're only going to have one
SRAM pool on any DaVinci part right now...this was only a question on
L138 anyway. But regardless, the created gen_pool will be passed via
pdata. Since DT conversion is starting and we need to consider that now,
the idea there is to use the DT-based generic sram driver [1] such that
when we do boot from DT on Davinci, the genpool is provided via phandle
and the pointer extracted with the OF helpers that are part of the
series.

That's pretty much it. I'm reworking the backend support as discussed
with Sekhar wrt to my uio_pruss series. I can post a standalone series
that just replaces sram_* with genalloc for davinci ASoC.

I thought about this too, as mmp does it that way.

A phandle is the cleanest way I think, yes.

As you can also test it, it would be easiest if you came up with a patch
for that, yes. I can have a look at the dma bits laters, once my OMAP
board finally works with the code as it currently stands. I'm still
fighting with the mcasp driver right now ...

See the of_get_named_gen_pool() helper example in the series

Ok. Also, as Sekhar pointed out, dmaengine itself isn't a blocker since
we can have AM33xx use the private EDMA API for ASoC until I finish
cyclic DMA support. Handling the ping-pong and normal case transparently
within the dmaengine driver will require a further look but at least
genalloc is our first step there.
