lpass(Low Power Audio SubSystem) 低功耗音频子系统
Qualcomm LPASS QDSP6v5 Peripheral Image Loader
pil-qdsp6v5-lpass is a peripheral image loader (PIL) driver. It is used for
loading QDSP6v5 (Hexagon) firmware images for Low Power Audio Subsystems
into memory and preparing the subsystem’s processor to execute code.
