[PATCH 0/2] soundwire: Remove redundant zeroing of page registers

From: Richard Fitzgerald
Date: Thu Dec 01 2022 - 09:08:33 EST


Writing zero to the page registers after each message transaction can add
up to a lot of overhead for codecs that need to transfer large amount of
data - for example a firmware download.

There's no spec reason I can see for this zeroing. The page registers are
only used for a paged address. The bus code uses a non-paged address for
registers in page 0. It always writes the page registers at the start of
a paged transaction.

If this zeroing was a workaround for anything, let me know and I will
re-implement the zeroing as a quirk that can be enabled only when it is
necessary.
