[PATCH v4 1/7] ASoC: rockchip: i2s-tdm: Fix inaccurate sampling rates

From: Luca Ceresoli
Date: Tue Mar 05 2024 - 09:37:22 EST


The sample rates set by the rockchip_i2s_tdm driver in master mode are
inaccurate up to 5% in several cases, due to the driver logic to configure
clocks and a nasty interaction with the Common Clock Framework.

To understand what happens, here is the relevant section of the clock tree
(slightly simplified), along with the names used in the driver:

vpll0 _OR_ vpll1 "mclk_root"
clk_i2s2_8ch_tx_src "mclk_parent"
clk_i2s2_8ch_tx_mux
clk_i2s2_8ch_tx "mclk" or "mclk_tx"

This is what happens when playing back e.g. at 192 kHz using
audio-graph-card (when recording the same applies, only s/tx/rx/):

0. at probe, rockchip_i2s_tdm_set_sysclk() stores the passed frequency in
i2s_tdm->mclk_tx_freq (*) which is 50176000, and that is never modified
afterwards

1. when playback is started, rockchip_i2s_tdm_hw_params() is called and
does the following two calls

2. rockchip_i2s_tdm_calibrate_mclk():

2a. selects mclk_root0 (vpll0) as a parent for mclk_parent
(mclk_tx_src), which is OK because the vpll0 rate is a good for
192000 (and sumbultiple) rates

2b. sets the mclk_root frequency based on ppm calibration computations

2c. sets mclk_tx_src to 49152000 (= 256 * 192000), which is also OK as
it is a multiple of the required bit clock

3. rockchip_i2s_tdm_set_mclk()

3a. calls clk_set_rate() to set the rate of mclk_tx (clk_i2s2_8ch_tx)
to the value of i2s_tdm->mclk_tx_freq (*), i.e. 50176000 which is
not a multiple of the sampling frequency -- this is not OK

3a1. clk_set_rate() reacts by reparenting clk_i2s2_8ch_tx_src to
vpll1 -- this is not OK because the default vpll1 rate can be
divided to get 44.1 kHz and related rates, not 192 kHz

The result is that the driver does a lot of ad-hoc decisions about clocks
and ends up in using the wrong parent at an unoptimal rate.

Step 0 is one part of the problem: unless the card driver calls set_sysclk
at each stream start, whatever rate is set in mclk_tx_freq during boot will
be taken and used until reboot. Moreover the driver does not care if its
value is not a multiple of any audio frequency.

Another part of the problem is that the whole reparenting and clock rate
setting logic is conflicting with the CCF algorithms to achieve largely the
same goal: selecting the best parent and setting the closest clock
rate. And it turns out that only calling once clk_set_rate() on
clk_i2s2_8ch_tx picks the correct vpll and sets the correct rate.

The fix is based on removing the custom logic in the driver to select the
parent and set the various clocks, and just let the Clock Framework do it
all. As a side effect, the set_sysclk() op becomes useless because we now
let the CCF compute the appropriate value for the sampling rate. It also
implies that the whole calibration logic is now dead code and so it is
removed along with the "PCM Clock Compensation in PPM" kcontrol, which has
always been broken anyway. The handling of the 4 optional clocks also
becomes dead code and is removed.

The actual rates have been tested playing 30 seconds of audio at various
sampling rates before and after this change using sox:

time play -r <sample_rate> -n synth 30 sine 950 gain -3

The time reported in the table below is the 'real' value reported by the
'time' command in the above command line.

rate before after
--------- ------ ------
8000 Hz 30.60s 30.63s
11025 Hz 30.45s 30.51s
16000 Hz 30.47s 30.50s
22050 Hz 30.78s 30.41s
32000 Hz 31.02s 30.43s
44100 Hz 30.78s 30.41s
48000 Hz 29.81s 30.45s
88200 Hz 30.78s 30.41s
96000 Hz 29.79s 30.42s
176400 Hz 27.40s 30.41s
192000 Hz 29.79s 30.42s

While the tests are running the clock tree confirms that:

* without the patch, vpll1 is always used and clk_i2s2_8ch_tx always
produces 50176000 Hz, which cannot be divided for most audio rates
except the slowest ones, generating inaccurate rates
* with the patch:
- for 192000 Hz vpll0 is used
- for 176400 Hz vpll1 is used
- clk_i2s2_8ch_tx always produces (256 * <rate>) Hz

Tested on the RK3308 using the internal audio codec.

As discussed after v3, the clock manipulation logic that this patch removes
is a remnant of the downstream 4.19 driver
(https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel/blob/develop-4.19/sound/soc/rockchip/rockchip_i2s_tdm.c).
It might be that the CCF was not yet capable of optimally reparenting back
in 4.19, so it did make sense back then.

Changed in v4:
- Mention the tested hardware in the commit message
- No content changes

Changed in v3:
- this patch is new in v3, and it replaces and supersedes the patch "ASoC:
rockchip: i2s-tdm: Fix clk_id usage in .set_sysclk()"
