[RFC PATCH 2/2] ASoC: codecs: wcd937x: relax the AUX PDM watchdog
Posted by Alexey Klimov 1 month ago
On a system with wcd937x, rxmacro and Qualcomm audio DSP, which is pretty
common set of devices on Qualcomm platforms, and due to the order of how
DAPM widgets are powered on (they are sorted), there is a small time window
when wcd937x chip is online and expects the flow of incoming data but
rxmacro is not yet online. When wcd937x is programmed to receive data
via AUX port then its AUX PDM watchdog is enabled in
wcd937x_codec_enable_aux_pa(). If due to some reasons the rxmacro and
soundwire machinery are delayed to start streaming data, then there is
a chance for this AUX PDM watchdog to reset the wcd937x codec. Such event
is not logged as a message and only wcd937x IRQ counter is increased
however there could be a lot of other reasons for that IRQ.
There is a similar opportunity for such delay during DAPM widgets power
down sequence.

If wcd937x codec reset happens on the start of the playback, then there
will be no sound and if such reset happens at the end of a playback then
it may generate additional clicks and pops noises.

On qrb4210 RB2 board without any debugging bits the wcd937x resets are
sometimes observed at the end of a playback though not always.
With some debugging messages or with some tracing enabled the AUX PDM
watchdog resets the wcd937x codec at the start of a playback and there
is no sound output at all.

In this patch:
 - TIMEOUT_SEL bit in PDM_WD_CTL2 register is set to increase the watchdog
reset delay to 100ms which eliminates the AUX PDM watchdog IRQs on
qrb4210 RB2 board completely and decreases the number of unwanted clicks
noises;

 - HOLD_OFF bit postpones triggering such watchdog IRQ till wcd937x codec
reset which usually happens at the end of a playback. This allows to
actually output some sound in case of debugging.
