PATCH 1/1 drm/i2c: tda998x: Allow for different audio sample rates

On HDMI, the audio data are carried across the HDMI link which is driven by the TDMS clock. The TDMS clock is dependent on the video pixel rate.

This patch sets the denominator (Cycle Time Stamp) appropriately allowing the driver to send audio to a wider range of HDMI sinks (i.e. monitors).

On HDMI, the audio data are carried across the HDMI link which is driven by the TDMS clock. The TDMS clock is dependent on the video pixel rate.

This patch sets the denominator (Cycle Time Stamp) appropriately allowing the driver to send audio to a wider range of HDMI sinks (i.e. monitors).

This is actually pointless, because we don't use "manual" CTS mode.

If the clocks for the video and audio are coherent, then you can program both the N and CTS values to allow the sink to properly recover the synchronous audio clock.

However, in most cases, the audio and video clocks are not coherent, and since the recovered audio clock has to match the source audio clock, the only way this can be done is by the TDA998x (or in fact other HDMI encoder) to measure the audio clock rate and generate the CTS value itself.

This is the mode we drive the TDA998x - so the programmed CTS value is irrelevant.

See the HDMI spec, section 7.2 for a discussion about this, especially non-coherent clocks.

My apologies for the noise: I originally created the patch when one of the monitors with which I was working wouldn't play sound as expected. However, I now find that the monitor plays sound with or without the patch so it must have been something else. I'd missed the significance of the "auto CTS" comment a few lines earlier (partly because I've no datasheet on the TDA998x).
