ALSA: memalloc: Allow NULL device for SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS type

2019-11-06T14:43:18+00:00

Currently we pass the artificial device pointer to the allocation
helper in the case of SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS for passing the GFP
flags.  But all common cases are the allocations with GFP_KERNEL, and
it's messy to put this in each place.

In this patch, the memalloc core helper is changed to accept the NULL
device pointer and it treats as the default mode, GFP_KERNEL, so that
all callers can omit the complex argument but just leave NULL.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "As shown in diffstat and logs, it was again a busy development cycle
  at this time, too. The most significant changes are still on-going
  refactoring / modernization works for ASoC core and drivers, but there
  are lots of other changes as well. Here we go, some highlights below:

  ASoC:

   - Quite a lot of cleanup / refactoring of ASoC core and APIs; most of
     them are systematic, but also including cleanups and modernization

   - A bulk of updates for some ASoC platforms, Freescale, sunxi and
     Intel SST/SOF

   - Initial support for Sound Open Firmware on i.MX8

   - Removal of deprecated w90x900 and nuc900 drivers

   - New support for Cirrus Logic CS47L15 and CS47L92, Freescale i.MX
     7ULP and 8MQ, Meson G12A and NXP UDA1334

  USB-audio:

   - More validations of descriptor units for hardening against bugs
     reported by fuzzers

   - PCM device assignment workaround for a past call-order change

   - Scarlett Gen2 mixer interface, a few more more quirks

  HD-audio:

   - Support for audio component with AMD/ATI and Nvidia HDMI codecs

   - Clean up HD-audio core and remove indirect access ops for Intel SOF

   - DMIC detection at probe; it would make systems automatically
     falling back to SST/SOF driver on devices that need DMIC handling.
     Needs a new Kconfig to set, and beware that it's still new and a
     bit experimental

  FireWire:

   - Lots of code refactoring and cleanups"

2019-09-10T11:03:08+00:00

ASoC: Updates for v5.4

Quite a big update this time around, particularly in the core
where we've had a lot of cleanups from Morimoto-san - there's
not much functional change but quite a bit of modernization
going on.  We've also seen a lot of driver work, a lot of it
cleanups but also some particular drivers.

 - Lots and lots of cleanups from Morimoto-san and Yue Haibing.
 - Lots of cleanups and enhancements to the Freescale, sunxi dnd
   Intel rivers.
 - Initial Sound Open Firmware suppot for i.MX8.
 - Removal of w90x900 and nuc900 drivers as the platforms are
   being removed.
 - New support for Cirrus Logic CS47L15 and CS47L92, Freescale
   i.MX 7ULP and 8MQ, Meson G12A and NXP UDA1334

ALSA: hda - Add a quirk model for fixing Huawei Matebook X right speaker

2019-08-09T14:57:31+00:00

[ This is rather a revival of the patch Tomas sent in months ago, but
  applying only with the quirk model option -- tiwai ]

Hard coded coefficients to make Huawuei Matebook X right speaker
work. The Matebook X has a ALC298, please refer to bug 197801 on
how these numbers were reverse engineered from the Windows driver

The reversed engineered sequence represents a repeating pattern
of verbs, and the only values that are changing periodically are
written on indexes 0x23 and 0x25:

0x500, 0x23
0x400, VALUE1
0x500, 0x25
0x400, VALUE2

* skipped reading sequences (0x500 - 0xc00 sequences are ignored)
* static values from reverse engineering are used

NOTE: since a significant risk is still considered, this is provided
as an experimental fix that isn't applied as default for now.  For
enabling the fix, you'll have to choose huawei-mbx-stereo via model
option of snd-hda-intel module.

If we get feedback from users that this works stably, we may apply it
per default.

[ Some coding style fixes and replacement with AC_VERB_* by tiwai ]
