[PATCH] ASoC: amd: acp: Adjust pdm dmic gain using module parameter
Posted by Venkata Prasad Potturu 2 months, 1 week ago
Adjust pdm dimc gain value using module param.
In case of regressions for any users that the new pdm_gain value is
too high and for additional debugging, introduce a module parameter
that would let them configure it.

This parameter should be removed in the future:
 * If it's determined that the parameter is not needed, just hardcode
   the correct value as before
 * If users do end up using it to debug and report different values
   we should introduce a config knob that can have policy set by ucm.

Note, you can not break a user/kernel api like this once you introduce
it, so be VERY careful (yet another reason for it to NOT be a module
parameter...)

This is not the 1990's, please do not add new module parameters, it will
not work for modern systems and is a horrible thing to attempt to
support over time :(

Please do this properly, with a per-device setting.

As the main purpose for this parameter is for being able to tune whether 
the property is correct, how about adding a debugfs file instead?

AFAICT it should just be a single register write, so debugfs to read 
current value and write the debugging value seems pretty straightforward.

Or you could just go direct to making it user tunable like a normal gain
control?
