Using the params_channels() helper when setting hw_params, results in
passing to Audioreach minimum number of channels valid for given
hardware.  This is not valid for any hardware which sets minimum
channels to two and maximum to something bigger, like four channels.

Instead pass the maximum number of supported channels to allow playback
of multi-channel formats.

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: qcom: q6apm-lpass-dais: pass max number of channels to Audioreach
      commit: e29de7abdaf56f58141b01f74862b320191c9203

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

I am not sure if this is correct fix. I think sound machine drivers
should just not override channels like:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/sound/soc/qcom/sm8250.c?h=v6.6-rc6#n44

Best regards,

You *can* get cases where machine specific wiring or clocking limits
mean that even if both ends of a link are capable of some number of
channels the actual limit is lower.

That's:

| static int sm8250_be_hw_params_fixup(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *rtd,
|				     struct snd_pcm_hw_params *params)

...

|	rate->min = rate->max = 48000;
|	channels->min = channels->max = 2;

which is DPCM which is it's own special thing - in this case it's saying
that whatever the front end takes in the thing that comes out of the SoC
will have been reformatted to 48kHz stereo (so mono will be turned into
stereo for example) which is a perfectly reasonable thing for a DSP to
do.  See previous discussions of how we should handle this better, DPCM
isn't ideal.
