The HDMI encoder IP embeds all needed blocks to output audio, with a custom DAI called MAI moving audio between the two parts of the HDMI core. This driver now exposes a sound card to let users stream audio to their display. Using the hdmi-codec driver has been considered here, but MAI meant having to significantly rework hdmi-codec, and it would have left little shared code with the I2S mode anyway. The encoder requires that the audio be SPDIF-formatted frames only, which alsalib will format-convert for us. This patch is the combined work of Eric Anholt (initial register setup with a separate dmaengine driver and using simple-audio-card) and Boris Brezillon (moving it all into HDMI, massive debug to get it actually working), and which Eric has the permission to release. v2: Drop "-audio" from sound card name, since that's already implied (suggestion by Boris) Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Acked-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@free-electrons.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20170227202803.12855-2-eric@anholt.net
