In the function kirkwood_set_rate, in case of a non dco supported rate
and no external clock, the clock source was set to an undefined value.
This patch just displays a message without changing the clock source.

NACK.

Having no clock at all should be catched during _probe. Moreover,
not having the internal clock enabled will lead to system hang due to
clock gating. You should rather pass an optional (DT-only) extclk phandle
on the second clocks property.

P.S. as this is alsa stuff you should have some alsa maintainers on your
Cc list. Please run ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl on your patches next time.
It will give you a list of people you have to to Cc.

It is a compilation error: the variable clks_ctrl is not initialized.

The sequence has been created by the commit 363589bf110aa0352a2031
   "ASoC: kirkwood-i2s: add support for external clock rates"

If it is about non-initialized clks_ctrl, I suggest to remove it
completely and clone the writel to both if and else branch.

Russell was the commit author and also should be added because of his
ARM maintainer status. But kirkwood-i2s is alsa and needs some sound

Jean-Francois,

I had a close look at the code and your patch. From a driver
point-of-view kirkwood_set_rate should never been called with
an unsupported rate (see KIRKWOOD_I2S_RATES) when no extclk
is available. With extclk available, the else-if branch will
be taken on rates != KIRKWOOD_I2S_RATES. Actually, your added
else branch will never be taken at all.

I suggest (again) to remove clks_ctrl and move the writel inside
if and else-if branch to cure the compiler warning.

That's what there was in the original patch from Rabeeh, but maybe it
is the opportunity to use WARN_ON. Russell?

Sebastian is correct in that such a path should _never_ be reached
because ALSA will reject anything but 44.1, 48 or 96kHz rates if we
don't have an extclk.

However, I disagree with Sebastian's solution - doing that is likely to
generate more code because gcc tends not to optimise:

	if (foo) {
		writel(some_value, register);
	} else {
		writel(some_other_value, register);
	}

very well.  It will generate two separate writel()s when in fact, it
could just do:

	if (foo) {
		val = some_value;
	} else {
		val = some_other_value;
	}
	writel(val, register);

One solution to this would be to just get rid of "if (!IS_ERR(priv->extclk))"
entirely, so that the "else" clause always assumes that if we hit that,
there will be an external clock.  If it does, the clk API gets to deal
with being passed an error pointer for a clock, and we switch to extclk
mode.  Either that'll cause a nice backtrace from the kernel (which is
good in this case) or audio will just not work.

Remember, though - if there isn't an extclk set, then we should never
get there in the first place.  If it makes people feel happier, also put
a WARN_ON(IS_ERR(priv->extclk)) there to guarantee a backtrace if it
happens.
