I think we should avoid "P2P" (or "M2M") keyword in the mainline
code as we know M2M will never get merged while somebody working
with the mainline and caring about new feature might be confused.

If I understand it correctly, setting to ideal ratio provides a
faster converting speed but increases the load of the processor
of ASRC. So we choose a slower converting speed here since real-
time playback mode doesn't really need a faster conversion?
It makes sense to me, yet I feel that the delay at the beginning
of the audio playback might be longer as a compromise. I am okay
with this decision though...

The fsl_asrc.c file has config.inclk being set to INCLK_NONE and
this sets the "ideal" in this function to true. So, although we
tend to not use ideal ratio setting for p2p cases, yet the input
clock is still not physically connected, so we still use output
clock for div[IN] calculation?
I am thinking something simplier: if we decided not to use ideal
ratio for "P2P", instead of adding "bool p2p" with the confusing
"ideal" in this function, could we just set config.inclk to the
same clock as the output one for "P2P"? By doing so, "P2P" won't
go through ideal ratio mode while still having a clock rate from
the output clock for div[IN] calculation here.

Could we check div[IN] and rem[IN] here? Like:
if (div[IN] == 0 || div[IN] > 1024) {
pair_err();
goto out;
}
if (!ideal && rem[IN]) {
pair_err();
goto out;
}
According to your commit log, I think the max-1024 limitation
should be applied to all cases, not confined to "!ideal" cases
right? And we should add some comments also, indicating it is
limited by hardware.

For this "should", do you actually mean "M2M could also"? Sorry,
I'm just trying to understand everyting here, not intentionally
being picky at words. My understanding is that we still keep the
ideal ratio setting because "M2M" still uses it.

So for ideal == true, these limitaions are not applied any more?
Remember that the "ideal" is true for "p2p == true" cases here.

Hmm, this looks like we want to allow ideal ratio cases and p2p
cases to operate any way, even if the divider wasn't within the
range to get the in/out rates from the output clock?
