v3 cover ASoC: qcom: volume fixes and codec cleanups

To reduce the risk of speaker damage the PA gain needs to be limited on machines like the Lenovo Thinkpad X13s until we have active speaker protection in place.

Limit the gain to the current default setting provided by the UCM configuration which most user have so far been using (due to a bug in the configuration files which prevented hardware volume control [1]).

The wsa883x PA volume control also turned out to be broken, which meant that the default setting used by UCM configuration is actually the lowest level (-3 dB). With the codec driver fixed, hardware volume control also works as expected once we lift the PA volume limit.

Note that the new wsa884x driver most likely suffers from a similar bug, I'll send a fix for that once I've got that confirmed.

Included is also a related fix for the LPASS WSA macro driver, which was changing the digital gain setting behind the back of user space and which can result in excessive (or too low) digital gain.

There are further Qualcomm codec drivers that similarly appear to manipulate various gain settings, but on closer inspection it turns out that they only write back the current settings. Tests reveal that these writes are indeed needed for any prior updates to take effect (at least for the WSA and RX macros).

Changes in v3
- fix the wsa883x PA volume control and update the machine limits accordingly

Changes in v2
- keep the volume register write on power-on in lpass-wsa-macro
- drop the other patches removing volume register writes on DAPM events
- only drop the constant-zero gain offsets in wcd9335

PATCH v3 1/5 ASoC: codecs: wsa883x: fix PA volume control

The PA gain can be set in steps of 1.5 dB from -3 dB to 18 dB, that is, in fifteen levels.

Fix the range of the PA volume control to avoid having the first sixteen levels all map to -3 dB.

Note that level 0 (-3 dB) does not mute the PA so the mute flag should also not be set.

Indeed, but the machine limit set by this series will make that less of any issue. At least for mainline, all users of this codec use the same machine driver so will also be limited to -3 dB.

TBH, we really don't know what unsupported values map to w.r.t dB.

I've verified experimentally that all values in the range 0..16 map to the same lowest setting, and only at level 17 is there a perceivable difference in gain.

And the datasheet you have access to describes the range as -3 to 18 dB.

Good point, but the reset value for that bit is 0 so we should be good here.

I'll also update patch 2/5 so that we explicitly set this register on probe in the unlikely event that something else has left that bit set before Linux boots (and the powerdown at probe isn't sufficient).

Quoted 2 lines

Whatever the mixer control is exposing is clearly reflecting what hardware is supporting.

No, not at all. The range exported to user space is all wrong and this breaks volume control in pulseaudio which expects the dB values to reflect the hardware.

If changing the range is a concern (as Mark mentioned), we at least have to fix the dB values.

And if this is something that may differ between the WSA883x variants currently handled by the driver then that needs to be taken into account too. I only have access to wsa8835 (and no docs, unlike you).

PATCH v3 2/5 ASoC: codecs: wsa883x: lower default PA gain

In reply to Johan Hovold

The default PA gain is set to a pretty high level of 15 dB. Initialise the register to the minimum -3 dB level instead.

This is specifically needed to allow machine drivers to use the lowest level as a volume limit.

This is broken, the register defaults provided to regmap need to correspond to whatever the hardware default is since for example a register cache sync will not write back any default values (as they should already be there in the hardware). Anything like this would need to be done by writes during init.

Bah, thanks for catching that. For some reason this was enough to have the driver initialise the register at boot at least. I'll set it explicitly at probe instead.

Indeed. This was a last minute change when I noticed I could actually set the lowest limit in the machine driver after I offset it, but then the reset value was never updated. Didn't think this through.

PATCH v3 3/5 ASoC: qcom: sc8280xp: limit speaker volumes

In reply to Johan Hovold

The UCM configuration for the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s has up until now been setting the speaker PA volume to -3 dB when enabling the speakers, but this does not prevent the user from increasing the volume further.

Limit the PA volume to -3 dB in the machine driver to reduce the risk of speaker damage until we have active speaker protection in place.

Note that this will probably need to be generalised using machine-specific limits, but a common limit should do for now.

I know you want that, but I'm not willing to be the one raising the default volume that people have been using so far and that you have (unknowingly) used in your tests to verify that you did not break your speakers.

Once you've run some more tests we can easily raise this limit.

I just want to make sure we have something safe in place ASAP now that people will soon be able to change the hardware volume control more easily (i.e. with the fixed UCM files).

It would be nice to consider using component->name_prefix here.

That can possibly be done later.

PATCH v3 4/5 ASoC: codecs: lpass-wsa-macro: fix compander volume hack

In reply to Johan Hovold

The LPASS WSA macro codec driver is updating the digital gain settings behind the back of user space on DAPM events if companding has been enabled.

As compander control is exported to user space, this can result in the digital gain setting being incremented (or decremented) every time the sound server is started and the codec suspended depending on what the UCM configuration looks like.

Soon enough playback will become distorted (or too quiet).

This is specifically a problem on the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s as this bypasses the limit for the digital gain setting that has been set by the machine driver.

Fix this by simply dropping the compander gain offset hack. If someone cares about modelling the impact of the compander setting this can possibly be done by exporting it as a volume control later.

Note that the volume registers still need to be written after enabling clocks in order for any prior updates to take effect.

I don't understand what you are referring to. Are you talking about the "ear_spkr_gain" perhaps?

I left that hack in place for now, as it's not currently an issue. It could perhaps be removed later.

PATCH v3 5/5 ASoC: codecs: wcd9335: drop unused gain hack remnant

In reply to Johan Hovold

The vendor driver appears to be modifying the gain settings behind the back of user space but these hacks never made it upstream except for some essentially dead code that adds a constant zero to the current gain setting on DAPM events.

Note that the volume registers still need to be written after enabling clocks in order for any prior updates to take effect.
