[RFC PATCH 0/6] Those patches is used for dw_hdmi audio.

[Kuankuan.Yang]

  Hi Russell:

      thks for your replay, actually you also have send me those 
dw-hdmi-audio.c patches, and I also agree it's an beautiful way to make 
hdmi-audio works. Beside,
  I try to reuse it into our platform, and actually the system have 
created the DW_HDMI sound card successfully, but i cannot play any 
sound  with this sound card.
      After dump the registers, I found the part of "Audio DMA 
Registers" cannot write and always read with 0x00.  So I searching the 
document  "Designware Core
  HDMI Transmitter Controller Databook", and found that  "Audio DMA 
Registers" only present when the hardware configuration parameter 
AUDIO_IF is set to
  AHBAUDDMA. Than I communicate with our IC colleagues, they told me 
that our cpu rk3288 only support two way to  transmit audio data( I2S & 
SPDIF ), in that
way we do not support AHB_DMA, it's very sad, and this it why i give up 
this way, also it's my bad that i should replay to u first in the before 
mail.


Best Regards.
