Hi,

The defconfig for OMAP2+ now have the CPU_IDLE enabled which can cause audio
artifacts because we try to enter too low power state from where the wakeup
takes longer than the FIFO can tolerate on the dai side.

While adding pm_qos to McPDM and DMIC I have noticed that the McBSP calculation
was not correct as we need usec for the latency value.

Regards,
Peter

I have now:

* v4.20-rc2
* plus your new patches
* plus letux-4.20-rc2 patches
* including our private AESS patch set (mostly inactive, because it fails to load firmware)
* CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y

and it works. I can use aplay and play to get handsfree audio as with CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=n

Sometimes, there is a scratchy tenth of a second (in handsfree and headset),
but the basic rhythm does not get interrupted any more and the play command does
not get stuck.

I have played an mp3 of 4 minutes and the play process did succeed and didn't report
buffer underrun issues.

So your patches seem to fix the issue. At least the basic problems. This scratchy
thing needs further study, if it is a spurious thing on my Pyra protoype device.
Or if it is still there if we disable CPU_IDLE again (I haven't tried that yet).

BR and thanks for quick help,
Nikolaus

Thanks for testing!

If you set CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=n, do you still have the scratchy sound? Or
with 4.19 kernel if you can cross check it?

If it is not there w/o CPU_IDLE then can you try one thing: print out
the latency usec the patch is calculating and, by guess divide it by 10
and pass that to pm_qos API. My calculation of the usec is not correct
or I'm calculating it in a wrong way?

Peter: do you have some simple test case for N810 or N900? I tried to
play with a few different aplay --buffer-size and --period-size
combinations to see can I hit this. N810 most probably wasn't able to
hit deep enough idle as the display is on due there is no driver for it.
On N900 I have display blanked.

I have one educational question on 1/3 but no any show stoppers. For all
three:

If you have CPU_IDLE enabled (it should be by default) and you don't
experience any crackling than it is working OK.

Tony: or is there something else to look for in OMAP2/3 ?
