Hi Nicolin,

And apparently, we shouldn't set bitclk to 66MHz either. Can
you help to find where this 66MHz comes from?

2. int asoc_simple_card_init_dai() @ simple-card-utils.c

Oh, I just searched in the simple-card.c but missed this file.

In this function (point 2.) the
simple_dai->sysclk is set and:
snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(dai, 0, simple_dai->sysclk, 0)
which sets frequency to 66 MHz [*].

The asoc_simple_card_init_dai() is called in
asoc_simple_card_dai_init() @ simple-card.c
which is assigned to dai_link->init
dai_link->init               = asoc_simple_card_dai_init; @ simple_card.c

And the sysclk itself is defined at:
-------------------------------------
dai_props->codec_dai->sysclk, which is used at:a

Why codec_dai? Why not dai_props->cpu_dai->sysclk since we are talking
about SSI?

This is how the simple-card (simple-sound-card) is written.


asoc_simple_card_startup(), asoc_simple_card_shutdown() and others
functions at simple-card.c
It is setup at:
asoc_simple_card_parse_clk() @ simple-card-utils.c from macro:
#define asoc_simple_card_parse_clk_cpu()
And the problem is:
-------------------

At the
asoc_simple_card_parse_clk()
we finally go to dts node:
/soc/aips-bus@02100000/i2c@021a0000/tfa9879@6C

This tfa9879 should be the CODEC right?

Yes. The tfa9879 is a codec (very simple -> I2S + I2C, mono).

They key point here is the asoc_simple_card_parse_clk() function from simple-card-utils.c

Please look how the clock is assigned; It first checks for cpu clock, then for "system-clock-frequency" DTS node and _finally_ looks for another "child" clock [1], which is the codec attached to I2C.

And from there it takes the 66 MHz CLK:
/soc/aips-bus@02100000/i2c@021a0000/tfa9879@6C




which has clock from I2C (66 MHz).

You mean I2C scl or I2S sclk?

I2C scl.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

But anyway, I feel very confused here as you have 66MHz clock rate
(regardless of it purpose) for a codec dai but it's been passed to
a cpu dai (SSI).

Please look into asoc_simple_card_parse_clk().


My DTS [1] (it is different than other in-tree supported codecs - at least I did not find similar setup in DTSes):

        sound {
                compatible = "simple-audio-card";
                label = "tfa9879-mono";

                simple-audio-card,dai-link {
                        /* DAC */
                        format = "i2s";
                        bitclock-master = <&dailink_master>;
                        frame-master = <&dailink_master>;

                        dailink_master: cpu {
                            sound-dai = <&ssi2>;
                        };
                        codec {
                            sound-dai = <&codec>;
                        };
                };
        };


&i2c1 {
        clock-frequency = <400000>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_i2c1>;
        status = "okay";

        codec: tfa9879@6C {
                #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
                compatible = "tfa9879";
                reg = <0x6C>;
        };
};

&ssi2 {
        fsl,mode = "i2s-master";
        status = "okay";
};

the ssi2 node is defined in imx6qdl.dtsi file (no changes).

The SOC is IMX6Q.

The TFA9879 is a slave for I2S transmission.



[*] - I could workaround this problem by setting:

system-clock-frequency = <0> in

                        dailink_master: cpu {
                            sound-dai = <&ssi2>;
                        };

but this is IMHO even worse hack.... than this patch.

I haven't used simple-card for a while so I forgot how to define
its DT bindings specifically. But you should assign ssi2 as the
CPU dai and assign tfa9879 as a CODEC dai.
