SGTL5000 on i.MX6 in I2S master mode

Wed Sep 17 00:45:42 PDT 2014

Hi,

I have a custom i.MX6 board, and have a sgtl5000 connected on it. I
would like to have it used in master mode (it is used only for audio
capture) but I get a "pcm_read:2031: read error: Input/output error"
when using arecord.
I am wondering if I forgot something in my DT or if I need to do
something else :

    sound {
        compatible = "fsl,imx6q-vbx3-sgtl5000",
                 "fsl,imx-audio-sgtl5000";
        model = "imx6q-vbx3-sgtl5000";
        ssi-controller = <&ssi1>;
        audio-codec = <&codec>;
        audio-routing =
            "LINE_IN", "Line In Jack";
        mux-int-port = <1>;
        mux-ext-port = <5>;
    };

&audmux {
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_audmux>;
    status = "okay";
};

&i2c2 {
    clock-frequency = <100000>;
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_i2c2>;
    status = "okay";

    codec: sgtl5000 at 0a {
        compatible = "fsl,sgtl5000";
        reg = <0x0a>;
        clocks = <&clks 201>;
        VDDA-supply = <&vgen6_reg>;
        VDDIO-supply = <&vgen6_reg>;
        sysclk = <24000000>;
    };
};

&iomuxc {
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog>;

    imx6qdl-vbx3 {
        pinctrl_audmux: audmuxgrp {
            fsl,pins = <
                MX6QDL_PAD_DISP0_DAT13__AUD5_RXFS        0x130b0
                MX6QDL_PAD_DISP0_DAT14__AUD5_RXC        0x130b0
                MX6QDL_PAD_DISP0_DAT16__AUD5_TXC        0x130b0
                MX6QDL_PAD_DISP0_DAT18__AUD5_TXFS        0x130b0
                MX6QDL_PAD_DISP0_DAT19__AUD5_RXD        0x130b0
            >;
        };
};

&ssi1 {
    status = "okay";
    codec-handle = <&codec>;
    fsl,mode = "i2s-master";
    fsl,ssi-asynchronous;
};

FYI, AUD5_TXC is wirely connected to AUD5_RXC and AUD5_TXFS is
connected to AUD5_RXFS.

Here is the dmesg part :

Thanks for reading all this, and for any advice :).
