[Alsa]4, wm8524 Kernel音频子系统入口

上篇说到音频子系统2.6.x版本的入口在现在4.x版本已经发生了变化，现在就来谈谈4.x版的真正入口。

额，以下都是我自己的一些理解，主要是以DroidPhone的专栏 – Linux音频子系统为参考，如果大家觉得哪里说得有问题，欢迎指正，以期共同进步。

---

1, 内核版本和Codec型号

Linux 4.9.123 可从以下地址获得
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/

本文Codec基于wm8524。

2, 设备树

设备树是音频子系统的入口吗？暂且认为它是吧，这样理解起来方便一些，我们从设备树里找到音频的设置：

wm8524: wm8524 {
    compatible = "wlf,wm8524";
    clocks = <&clk IMX8MM_CLK_SAI3_ROOT>;
    clock-names = "mclk";
    wlf,mute-gpios = <&gpio5 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
  };

  sound-wm8524 {
    compatible = "fsl,imx-audio-wm8524";
    model = "wm8524-audio";
    audio-cpu = <&sai3>;
    audio-codec = <&wm8524>;
    audio-routing =
      "Line Out Jack", "LINEVOUTL",
      "Line Out Jack", "LINEVOUTR";
  };

里面主要有两部分内容，一部分是Codec(wm8524)，另一部分就叫Mechine(sound-wm8524)吧.
从这里面我们了看到几个已经定义好的属性，从Machine入手，
compatible: 用于匹配设备树对应的驱动。
model:设备模型，暂时不是很清楚作用。
audio-cpu: 音频控制单元
audio-codec: 这个其实就是指上面的Codec
audio-routing: 音频路径，这个也比较重要，涉及到dapm
从audio-codec跳到Codec，
compatible: 匹配codec用的
clocks: 用到的时钟
clock-names: 时钟名字
wlf,mute-gpios: 专用的静音用的gpio定义

设备树就到这里了，要注意上面说到的每一个属性，下面都会再次见到。

3, Machine驱动

搜索sound-wm8524的compatible——“fsl,imx-audio-wm8524”，跳转到文件sound/soc/fsl/imx-wm8524.c，

static const struct of_device_id imx_wm8524_dt_ids[] = {
  { .compatible = "fsl,imx-audio-wm8524", },
  { /* sentinel */ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, imx_wm8524_dt_ids);

static struct platform_driver imx_wm8524_driver = {
  .driver = {
    .name = "imx-wm8524",
    .pm = &snd_soc_pm_ops,
    .of_match_table = imx_wm8524_dt_ids,
  },
  .probe = imx_wm8524_probe,
};
module_platform_driver(imx_wm8524_driver);

我们可以清楚地看到，compatible->imx_wm8524_dt_ids->imx_wm8524_probe，最终是触发了imx_wm8524_probe，

  priv->card.owner = THIS_MODULE;
  priv->card.dapm_widgets = imx_wm8524_dapm_widgets;
  priv->card.num_dapm_widgets = ARRAY_SIZE(imx_wm8524_dapm_widgets);
}

 // 解析sound card name，这里用到的是DTS里的·model·属性，见3.2
  ret = snd_soc_of_parse_card_name(&priv->card, "model");
  if (ret)
    goto fail;

 // 解析audio_routing，这里用到的是DTS里的·audio-routing·属性，
 	这个涉及到dapm的widget和routes部分，见3.3
  ret = snd_soc_of_parse_audio_routing(&priv->card, "audio-routing");
  if (ret)
    goto fail;
    
 // 设置drvdata，把priv设到priv->card里，见3.4
  snd_soc_card_set_drvdata(&priv->card, priv);
  
 // 注册sound_card，见3.5
  ret = devm_snd_soc_register_card(&pdev->dev, &priv->card);

    dev_err(&pdev->dev, "snd_soc_register_card failed (%d)\n", ret);
    goto fail;

终于写完了这个流程了，读者应该也发现了，里面出现了几个东西不太好理解

1. dapm: Dynamic audio power management 动态音频电源关系，和功耗相关的。
2. widgets: dapm的一个组件。
3. routes: dapm的一个组件。
4. kcontrol: dapm的一个组件。
5. dai_link: Digital Audio Interfaces 数字音频接口。

今后的几篇会详细的分门别类的来介绍这几个部分。
