Right, not all functionality is related to the hw_params However, the codec need to be attached first if the functionality needs to access the codec. That's the reason we do io init and regcache_sync in the update_status callback when the codec is attached. Take the jack detection as an example, the codec will be attached first when the JD event happens. At that point, the driver will do io init and regsync and then handle the interrupt. > > The other weird thing is that historically the codec initialization was never on > the critical path, it was several orders of magnitude faster than the controller. > It wouldn't hurt to provide broad-brush information on what a 'long' time > means for a codec resume, so that we can really see the pros/cons of moving > all the regmap initialization. The main issue is that the codec could be attached after the codec resume.

I am not trying to move the initialization to the hw_params. The initialization is still done in the update_status() callback. Waiting on hw_params is just to make sure the codec is initialized before the audio get started. And currently, Realtek codec drivers do blind writes in the io_init function not resume. > > The last point is that this is a change for Realtek codecs only, would other > drivers for other vendors require this change?

I don't see any difference between non-sdca and sdca codecs. They both could be attached after the codec driver resume. > > > Bard Liao (15): > > soundwire: add sdw_slave_wait_for_initialization helper > > ASoC: rt722: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt712: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt1320: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt721: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt715-sdca: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt711-sdca: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt711: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt715: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt700: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt1316: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt1318: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt1308: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt5682: wait codec init in hw_params > > ASoC: rt1017: wait codec init in hw_params > > > > drivers/soundwire/slave.c | 17 ++++++++++++++ > > include/linux/soundwire/sdw.h | 1 + > > sound/soc/codecs/rt1017-sdca-sdw.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt1308-sdw.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt1316-sdw.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt1318-sdw.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++-------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt1320-sdw.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++-------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt5682-sdw.c | 29 +++++++++++++++-------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt700-sdw.c | 27 ++++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt700.c | 6 +++++ > > sound/soc/codecs/rt711-sdca-sdw.c | 28 ++++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt711-sdca.c | 6 +++++ > > sound/soc/codecs/rt711-sdw.c | 26 +++++++++++++-------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt711.c | 6 +++++ > > sound/soc/codecs/rt712-sdca-sdw.c | 28 ++++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt712-sdca.c | 6 +++++ > > sound/soc/codecs/rt715-sdca-sdw.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++-------- > -- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt715-sdca.c | 6 +++++ > > sound/soc/codecs/rt715-sdw.c | 27 ++++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt715.c | 6 +++++ > > sound/soc/codecs/rt721-sdca-sdw.c | 29 ++++++++++++----------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt721-sdca.c | 6 +++++ > > sound/soc/codecs/rt722-sdca-sdw.c | 26 +++++++++++---------- > > sound/soc/codecs/rt722-sdca.c | 6 +++++ > > 24 files changed, 320 insertions(+), 161 deletions(-) > >
