+Audio drivers for Cirrus Logic CS35L54/56/57/63 Boosted Smart Amplifiers
+========================================================================

+
+Summary
+=======
+
+The high-level summary of this document is:
+
+**If you have a laptop that uses CS35L54/56/57/63 amplifiers but audio is not
+working, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE FIRMWARE AND SETTINGS FROM ANOTHER LAPTOP,
+EVEN IF THAT LAPTOP SEEMS SIMILAR.**
+
+The CS35L54/56/57/63 amplifiers must be correctly configured for the power
+supply voltage, speaker impedance, maximum speaker voltage/current, and
+other external hardware connections.
+
+The amplifiers feature advanced boost technology that increases the voltage
+used to drive the speakers, while proprietary speaker protection algorithms
+allow these boosted amplifiers to push the limits of the speakers without
+causing damage. These **must** be configured correctly.
+
+Supported Cirrus Logic amplifiers
+---------------------------------
+
+The cs35l56 drivers support:
+
+* CS35L54
+* CS35L56
+* CS35L57
+* CS35L63
+
+There are two drivers in the kernel
+
+*For systems using SoundWire*: sound/soc/codecs/cs35l56.c and associated files
+
+*For systems using HDA*: sound/pci/hda/cs35l56_hda.c
+
+Firmware
+========
+
+The amplifier is controlled and managed by firmware running on the internal
+DSP. Firmware files are essential to enable the full capabilities of the
+amplifier.
+
+Firmware is distributed in the linux-firmware repository:
+https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware.git
+
+On most SoundWire systems the amplifier has a default minimum capability to
+produce audio. However this will be
+
+* at low volume, to protect the speakers, since the speaker specifications
+ and power supply voltages are unknown.
+* a mono mix of left and right channels.
+
+On some SoundWire systems that have both CS42L43 and CS35L56/57 the CS35L56/57
+receive their audio from the CS42L43 instead of directly from the host
+SoundWire interface. These systems can be identified by the CS42L43 showing
+in dmesg as a SoundWire device, but the CS35L56/57 as SPI. On these systems
+the firmware is *mandatory* to enable receiving the audio from the CS42L43.
+
+On HDA systems the firmware is *mandatory* to enable HDA bridge mode. There
+will not be any audio from the amplifiers without firmware.
+
+Cirrus Logic firmware files
+---------------------------
+
+Each amplifier requires two firmware files. One file has a .wmfw suffix, the
+other has a .bin suffix.
+
+The firmware is customized by the OEM to match the hardware of each laptop,
+and the firmware is specific to that laptop. Because of this, there are many
+firmware files in linux-firmware for these amplifiers. Firmware files are
+**not interchangeable between laptops**.
+
+Cirrus Logic submits files for known laptops to the upstream linux-firmware
+repository. Providing Cirrus Logic is aware of a particular laptop and has
+permission from the manufacturer to publish the firmware, it will be pushed
+to linux-firmware. You may need to upgrade to a newer release of
+linux-firmware to obtain the firmware for your laptop.
+
+**Important:** the Makefile for linux-firmware creates symlinks that are listed
+in the WHENCE file. These symlinks are required for the CS35L56 driver to be
+able to load the firmware.
+
+How do I know which firmware file I should have?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+All firmware file names are qualified with a unique "system ID". On normal
+x86 PCs with PCI audio this is the Vendor Subsystem ID (SSID) of the host
+PCI audio interface.
+
+The SSID can be viewed using the lspci tool::
+
+ lspci -v -nn | grep -A2 -i audio
+ 0000:00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P HD Audio Controller [8086:7e28]
+ Subsystem: Dell Meteor Lake-P HD Audio Controller [1028:0c63]
+
+In this example the SSID is 10280c63.
+
+The format of the firmware file names is:
+
+SoundWire (except CS35L56 Rev B0):
+ cs35lxx-b0-dsp1-misc-SSID[-spkidX]-l?u?
+
+SoundWire CS35L56 Rev B0:
+ cs35lxx-b0-dsp1-misc-SSID[-spkidX]-ampN
+
+Non-SoundWire (HDA and I2S):
+ cs35lxx-b0-dsp1-misc-SSID[-spkidX]-ampN
+
+Where:
+
+ * cs35lxx-b0 is the amplifier model and silicon revision. This information
+ is logged by the driver during initialization.
+ * SSID is the 8-digit hexadecimal SSID value.
+ * l?u? is the physical address on the SoundWire bus of the amp this
+ file applies to.
+ * ampN is the amplifier number (for example amp1). This is the same as
+ the prefix on the ALSA control names except that it is always lower-case
+ in the file name.
+ * spkidX is an optional part, used for laptops that have firmware
+ configurations for different makes and models of internal speakers.
+
+The CS35L56 Rev B0 continues to use the old filename scheme because a
+large number of firmware files have already been published with these
+names.
+
+Sound Open Firmware and ALSA topology files
+-------------------------------------------
+
+All SoundWire systems will require a Sound Open Firmware (SOF) for the
+host CPU audio DSP, together with an ALSA topology file (.tplg).
+
+The SOF firmware will usually be provided by the manufacturer of the host
+CPU (i.e. Intel or AMD). The .tplg file is normally part of the SOF firmware
+release.
+
+SOF binary builds are available from: https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/releases
+
+The main SOF source is here: https://github.com/thesofproject
+
+ALSA-ucm configurations
+-----------------------
+Typically an appropriate ALSA-ucm configuration file is needed for
+use-case managers and audio servers such as PipeWire.
+
+Configuration files are available from the alsa-ucm-conf repository:
+https://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-ucm-conf.git

+Cirrus Logic CS35L56 Rev B0 OTP3 fw:3.4.4 (patched=0)
+ Shows that the driver has been able to read device ID registers from the
+ amplifier.
+
+ * The actual amplifier type and silicon revision (CS35L56 B0 in this
+ example) is shown, as read from the amplifier identification registers.
+ * (patched=0) is normal, and indicates that the amplifier has been hard
+ reset and is running default ROM firmware.
+ * (patched=1) means that something has previously downloaded firmware
+ to the amplifier and the driver does not have control of the RESET
+ signal to be able to replace this preloaded firmware. This is normal
+ for systems where the BIOS downloads firmware to the amplifiers
+ before OS boot.
+ This status can also be seen if the cs35l56 kernel module is unloaded
+ and reloaded on a system where the driver does not have control of
+ RESET. SoundWire systems typically do not give the driver control of
+ RESET and only a BIOS (re)boot can reset the amplifiers.
+

+
+Error messages
+==============
+This section explains some of the error messages that the driver can log.
+
+Algorithm coefficient version %d.%d.%d but expected %d.%d.%d
+ The version of the .bin file content does not match the loaded firmware.
+ Caused by mismatched .wmfw and .bin file, or .bin file was found but
+ .wmfw was not.
+
+No %s for algorithm %x
+ The version of the .bin file content does not match the loaded firmware.
+ Caused by mismatched .wmfw and .bin file, or .bin file was found but
+ .wmfw was not.
+
+.bin file required but not found
+ HDA driver did not find a .bin file that matches this hardware.
+
+Calibration disabled due to missing firmware controls
+ Driver was not able to write EFI calibration data to firmware registers.
+ This typically means that either:
+
+ * The driver did not find a suitable wmfw for this hardware, or
+ * The amplifier has already been patched with firmware by something
+ previously, and the driver does not have control of a hard RESET line
+ to be able to reset the amplifier and download the firmware files it
+ found. This situation is indicated by the device identification
+ string in the kernel log shows "(patched=1)"
+
+Failed to write calibration
+ Same meaning and cause as "Calibration disabled due to missing firmware
+ controls"
+
+Failed to read calibration data from EFI
+ Factory calibration data in EFI is missing, empty or corrupt.
+ This is most likely to be cause by accidentally deleting the file from
+ the EFI filesystem.
+
+No calibration for silicon ID
+ The factory calibration data in EFI does not match this hardware.
+ The most likely cause is that an amplifier has been replaced on the
+ motherboard without going through manufacturer calibration process to
+ generate calibration data for the new amplifier.
+
+Did not find any buses for CSCxxxx
+ Only on HDA systems. The HDA codec driver found an ACPI entry for
+ Cirrus Logic companion amps, but could not enumerate the ACPI entries for
+ the I2C/SPI buses. The most likely cause of this is that:
+
+ * The relevant bus driver (I2C or SPI) is not part of the kernel.
+ * The HDA codec driver was built-in to the kernel but the I2C/SPI
+ bus driver is a module and so the HDA codec driver cannot call the
+ bus driver functions.
+
+init_completion timed out
+ The SoundWire bus controller (host end) did not enumerate the amplifier.
+ In other words, the ACPI says there is an amplifier but for some reason
+ it was not detected on the bus.
+
+No AF01 node
+ Indicates an error in ACPI. A SoundWire system should have a Device()
+ node named "AF01" but it was not found.
+
+Failed to get spk-id-gpios
+ ACPI says that the driver should request a GPIO but the driver was not
+ able to get that GPIO. The most likely cause is that the kernel does not
+ include the correct GPIO or PINCTRL driver for this system.
+
+Failed to read spk-id
+ ACPI says that the driver should request a GPIO but the driver was not
+ able to read that GPIO.
+
+Unexpected spk-id element count
+ AF01 contains more speaker ID GPIO entries than the driver supports
+
+Overtemp error
+ Amplifier overheat protection was triggered and the amplifier shut down
+ to protect itself.
+
+Amp short error
+ Amplifier detected a short-circuit on the speaker output pins and shut
+ down for protection. This would normally indicate a damaged speaker.
+
+Hibernate wake failed
+ The driver tried to wake the amplifier from its power-saving state but
+ did not see the expected responses from the amplifier. This can be caused
+ by using firmware that does not match the hardware.

+==================================
+ALSA Co-processor Acceleration API
+==================================
+
+Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>
+
+
+Overview
+========
+
+There is a requirement to expose the audio hardware that accelerates various
+tasks for user space such as sample rate converters, compressed
+stream decoders, etc.
+
+This is description for the API extension for the compress ALSA API which
+is able to handle "tasks" that are not bound to real-time operations
+and allows for the serialization of operations.
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+The main requirements are:
+
+- serialization of multiple tasks for user space to allow multiple
+ operations without user space intervention
+
+- separate buffers (input + output) for each operation
+
+- expose buffers using mmap to user space
+
+- signal user space when the task is finished (standard poll mechanism)
+
+Design
+======
+
+A new direction SND_COMPRESS_ACCEL is introduced to identify
+the passthrough API.
+
+The API extension shares device enumeration and parameters handling from
+the main compressed API. All other realtime streaming ioctls are deactivated
+and a new set of task related ioctls are introduced. The standard
+read/write/mmap I/O operations are not supported in the passthrough device.
+
+Device ("stream") state handling is reduced to OPEN/SETUP. All other
+states are not available for the passthrough mode.
+
+Data I/O mechanism is using standard dma-buf interface with all advantages
+like mmap, standard I/O, buffer sharing etc. One buffer is used for the
+input data and second (separate) buffer is used for the output data. Each task
+have separate I/O buffers.
+
+For the buffering parameters, the fragments means a limit of allocated tasks
+for given device. The fragment_size limits the input buffer size for the given
+device. The output buffer size is determined by the driver (may be different
+from the input buffer size).
+
+State Machine
+=============
+
+The passthrough audio stream state machine is described below::
+
+ +----------+
+ | |
+ | OPEN |
+ | |
+ +----------+
+ |
+ |
+ | compr_set_params()
+ |
+ v
+ all passthrough task ops +----------+
+ +------------------------------------| |
+ | | SETUP |
+ | |
+ | +----------+
+ | |
+ +------------------------------------------+
+
+
+Passthrough operations (ioctls)
+===============================
+
+All operations are protected using stream->device->lock (mutex).
+
+CREATE
+------
+Creates a set of input/output buffers. The input buffer size is
+fragment_size. Allocates unique seqno.
+
+The hardware drivers allocate internal 'struct dma_buf' for both input and
+output buffers (using 'dma_buf_export()' function). The anonymous
+file descriptors for those buffers are passed to user space.
+
+FREE
+----
+Free a set of input/output buffers. If a task is active, the stop
+operation is executed before. If seqno is zero, operation is executed for all
+tasks.
+
+START
+-----
+Starts (queues) a task. There are two cases of the task start - right after
+the task is created. In this case, origin_seqno must be zero.
+The second case is for reusing of already finished task. The origin_seqno
+must identify the task to be reused. In both cases, a new seqno value
+is allocated and returned to user space.
+
+The prerequisite is that application filled input dma buffer with
+new source data and set input_size to pass the real data size to the driver.
+
+The order of data processing is preserved (first started job must be
+finished at first).
+
+If the multiple tasks require a state handling (e.g. resampling operation),
+the user space may set SND_COMPRESS_TFLG_NEW_STREAM flag to mark the
+start of the new stream data. It is useful to keep the allocated buffers
+for the new operation rather using open/close mechanism.
+
+STOP
+----
+Stop (dequeues) a task. If seqno is zero, operation is executed for all
+tasks.
+
+STATUS
+------
+Obtain the task status (active, finished). Also, the driver will set
+the real output data size (valid area in the output buffer).

+ASoC USB support
+================
+
+Overview
+========
+In order to leverage the existing USB sound device support in ALSA, the
+ASoC USB APIs are introduced to allow the subsystems to exchange
+configuration information.
+
+One potential use case would be to support USB audio offloading, which is
+an implementation that allows for an alternate power-optimized path in the audio
+subsystem to handle the transfer of audio data over the USB bus. This would
+let the main processor to stay in lower power modes for longer duration. The
+following is an example design of how the ASoC and ALSA pieces can be connected
+together to achieve this:
+
+::

+link, and the USB sound entity will be able to pass information to the
+ASoC BE DAI link using this structure.

+ - ``num_playback``: number of playback streams
+ - ``num_capture``: number of capture streams
+ - ``list``: list head for the USB sound device list

+After removing a device, any SOC USB operations would not be able to reference the

+
+How to Register to SoC USB
+--------------------------
+The ASoC DPCM USB BE DAI link is the entity responsible for allocating and
+registering the SoC USB device on the component bind. Likewise, it will
+also be responsible for freeing the allocated resources. An example can
+be shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ static int q6usb_component_probe(struct snd_soc_component *component)
+ {
+ ...
+ data->usb = snd_soc_usb_allocate_port(component, 1, &data->priv);
+ if (!data->usb)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ usb->connection_status_cb = q6usb_alsa_connection_cb;
+
+ ret = snd_soc_usb_add_port(usb);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ dev_err(component->dev, "failed to add usb port\n");
+ goto free_usb;
+ }
+ ...
+ }
+
+ static void q6usb_component_remove(struct snd_soc_component *component)
+ {
+ ...
+ snd_soc_usb_remove_port(data->usb);
+ snd_soc_usb_free_port(data->usb);
+ }
+
+ static const struct snd_soc_component_driver q6usb_dai_component = {
+ .probe = q6usb_component_probe,
+ .remove = q6usb_component_remove,
+ .name = "q6usb-dai-component",
+ ...
+ };
+..
+
+BE DAI links can pass along vendor specific information as part of the
+call to allocate the SoC USB device. This will allow any BE DAI link
+parameters or settings to be accessed by the USB offload driver that
+resides in USB SND.
+
+USB Audio Device Connection Flow
+--------------------------------
+USB devices can be hotplugged into the USB ports at any point in time.
+The BE DAI link should be aware of the current state of the physical USB
+port, i.e. if there are any USB devices with audio interface(s) connected.
+connection_status_cb() can be used to notify the BE DAI link of any change.
+
+This is called whenever there is a USB SND interface bind or remove event,
+using snd_soc_usb_connect() or snd_soc_usb_disconnect():
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ static void qc_usb_audio_offload_probe(struct snd_usb_audio *chip)
+ {
+ ...
+ snd_soc_usb_connect(usb_get_usb_backend(udev), sdev);
+ ...
+ }
+
+ static void qc_usb_audio_offload_disconnect(struct snd_usb_audio *chip)
+ {
+ ...
+ snd_soc_usb_disconnect(usb_get_usb_backend(chip->dev), dev->sdev);
+ ...
+ }
+..
+
+In order to account for conditions where driver or device existence is
+not guaranteed, USB SND exposes snd_usb_rediscover_devices() to resend the
+connect events for any identified USB audio interfaces. Consider the
+the following situation:
+
+ **usb_audio_probe()**
+ | --> USB audio streams allocated and saved to usb_chip[]
+ | --> Propagate connect event to USB offload driver in USB SND
+ | --> **snd_soc_usb_connect()** exits as USB BE DAI link is not ready
+
+ BE DAI link component probe
+ | --> DAI link is probed and SoC USB port is allocated
+ | --> The USB audio device connect event is missed
+
+To ensure connection events are not missed, **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()**
+is executed when the SoC USB device is registered. Now, when the BE DAI
+link component probe occurs, the following highlights the sequence:
+
+ BE DAI link component probe
+ | --> DAI link is probed and SoC USB port is allocated
+ | --> SoC USB device added, and **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** runs
+
+ **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()**
+ | --> Traverses through usb_chip[] and for non-NULL entries issue
+ | **connection_status_cb()**
+
+In the case where the USB offload driver is unbound, while USB SND is ready,
+the **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** is called during module init. This allows
+for the offloading path to also be enabled with the following flow:
+
+ **usb_audio_probe()**
+ | --> USB audio streams allocated and saved to usb_chip[]
+ | --> Propagate connect event to USB offload driver in USB SND
+ | --> USB offload driver **NOT** ready!
+
+ BE DAI link component probe
+ | --> DAI link is probed and SoC USB port is allocated
+ | --> No USB connect event due to missing USB offload driver
+
+ USB offload driver probe
+ | --> **qc_usb_audio_offload_init()**
+ | --> Calls **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** to notify of devices
+
+USB Offload Related Kcontrols
+=============================
+Details
+-------
+A set of kcontrols can be utilized by applications to help select the proper sound
+devices to enable USB audio offloading. SoC USB exposes the get_offload_dev()
+callback that designs can use to ensure that the proper indices are returned to the
+application.

+
+The above example shows a scenario where the system has one ASoC platform card
+(card#0) and two USB sound devices connected (card#1 and card#2). When reading
+the available kcontrols for each USB audio device, the following kcontrols lists
+the mapped offload card and pcm device indexes for the specific USB device:
+
+ ``USB Offload Playback Card Route PCM#*``
+
+ ``USB Offload Playback PCM Route PCM#*``
+
+The kcontrol is indexed, because a USB audio device could potentially have
+several PCM devices. The above kcontrols are defined as:
+
+ - ``USB Offload Playback Card Route PCM#`` **(R)**: Returns the ASoC platform sound
+ card index for a mapped offload path. The output **"0"** (card index) signifies
+ that there is an available offload path for the USB SND device through card#0.
+ If **"-1"** is seen, then no offload path is available for the USB SND device.
+ This kcontrol exists for each USB audio device that exists in the system, and
+ its expected to derive the current status of offload based on the output value
+ for the kcontrol along with the PCM route kcontrol.
+
+ - ``USB Offload Playback PCM Route PCM#`` **(R)**: Returns the ASoC platform sound
+ PCM device index for a mapped offload path. The output **"1"** (PCM device index)
+ signifies that there is an available offload path for the USB SND device through
+ PCM device#0. If **"-1"** is seen, then no offload path is available for the USB\
+ SND device. This kcontrol exists for each USB audio device that exists in the
+ system, and its expected to derive the current status of offload based on the
+ output value for this kcontrol, in addition to the card route kcontrol.
+

+Existing USB Sound Kcontrol
+---------------------------
+With the introduction of USB offload support, the above USB offload kcontrol
+will be added to the pre existing list of kcontrols identified by the USB sound
+framework. These kcontrols are still the main controls that are used to
+modify characteristics pertaining to the USB audio device.
+
+ ::
+
+ Number of controls: 9
+ ctl type num name value
+ 0 INT 2 Capture Channel Map 0, 0 (range 0->36)
+ 1 INT 2 Playback Channel Map 0, 0 (range 0->36)
+ 2 BOOL 1 Headset Capture Switch On
+ 3 INT 1 Headset Capture Volume 10 (range 0->13)
+ 4 BOOL 1 Sidetone Playback Switch On
+ 5 INT 1 Sidetone Playback Volume 4096 (range 0->8192)
+ 6 BOOL 1 Headset Playback Switch On
+ 7 INT 2 Headset Playback Volume 20, 20 (range 0->24)
+ 8 INT 1 USB Offload Playback Card Route PCM#0 0 (range -1->32)
+ 9 INT 1 USB Offload Playback PCM Route PCM#0 1 (range -1->255)
+
+Since USB audio device controls are handled over the USB control endpoint, use the
+existing mechanisms present in the USB mixer to set parameters, such as volume.
