Not against the patch itself, but just found looking through it:

Setting both CONTINUOUS and KNOT doesn't make sense.

Hi Takashi,

I understand 'continuous', but I could not find any clear definition of
'knot'. May you explain what is its purpose?

BTW, if you may help me, while looking for SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT,
I found this sequence in soc-pcm.c:

	if (codec_stream->rates
		& (SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS))
		hw->rates |= cpu_stream->rates;
	if (cpu_stream->rates
		& (SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS))
		hw->rates |= codec_stream->rates;

and it seems related to the problem I have:

- the cpu dai (kirkwood i2s) may generate any continuous rate
  8000..192000 as shown in the patch.

- the HDMI transmitter (tda998x) accepts either i2s or s/pdif audio
  input at any continuous rate, but when getting audio from s/pdif, the
  lowest rate is 22.06kHz.

In the associated codec, if I define:

	.rates = SNDRV_PCM_RATE_22050 |
		SNDRV_PCM_RATE_32000 |
		...
		SNDRV_PCM_RATE_192000 |
		SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS,

audio works fine with streams at 33.075kHz (the kirkwood clock is
exactly 33.075kHz). But when I want a stream at 7850Hz, the kirkwood
i2s driver gets a clock at 8000Hz and the tda998x cannot do audio
output.

Otherwise, removing SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS in the codec, I can hear
the 7850Hz stream which is converted to 22.05 kHz by vlc, but when I
want a stream at 33.075kHz, vlc converts it to 32kHz.

So, with the commit d9ad6296ec3b4a55b "ASoC: PCM_RATE: Check for KNOT
and CONTINUOUS flags", I cannot get the exact clock I want.

Do you know the reason of this patch, and, if it must stay, is there
any possible bypass?

Thanks.

What is your fascination with doing stuff outside the specifications?
The HDMI spec is quite clear:

"An HDMI Source is permitted to transmit L-PCM audio data at sample rates
of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz or 192kHz."

It goes on to say:

"An HDMI Sink may accept L-PCM audio at sample rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz,
48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz or 192kHz, and should indicate these
capabilities in the E-EDID data structure."

That doesn't say that 8kHz, 22.05kHz etc are valid sample rates for
HDMI.  It may work for some devices but it's non-standard.

CONTINUOUS means that any rate between the specified min and max is fine, if
no min or max is specified any rate is fine. KNOT means there are rates
supported other than the standard rates defines by ALSA, but the other rates
are enumerable. You'd typically specify them by explicitly listing them all
and use a list constraint or you'd use one of the ratio constraints.

I think this code is wrong, but I don't think it is related to your problem.

If you set SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS, the other rates flags will be ignored
(IIRC). You need to explicitly specify the minimum and maximum rates if they
exist.

In your codec driver you should specify the minimum and maximum supported
rate by calling snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax() in the DAI startup callback.

It is also possible to set the min and max rate directly in the dai_driver
struct.

It's not completely wrong, but imperfect, indeed.

Essentially, the rates bits are set by a line above the code snippet:
	hw->rates = codec_stream->rates & cpu_stream->rates;

And, the code above handles exceptional rules for CONTINUOUS and
KNOT.  It would work if either codec or cpu DAI has KNOT or CONTINUOUS
flag and another doesn't but only explicit rate bits, because
CONTINUOUS does allow any rates and KNOW may allow any rates.
(So, basically you need no other SNDRV_PCM_RATE_*bits if you have
CONTINUOUS or KNOT bit.)  And the actual rates are limited by rate_min
and rate_max values.

It won't work properly, however, if one side has KNOT and another has
CONTINUOUS.  Then it'd end up with CONTINUOUS|KNOT, which is wrong.

Instead, the following should work (if I counted all possible cases
properly):

	hw->rates = codec_stream->rates & cpu_stream->rates;
	if (codec_stream->rates
		& (SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS))
		hw->rates |= cpu_stream->rates & ~SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS;
	if (cpu_stream->rates
		& (SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS))
		hw->rates |= codec_stream->rates & ~SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS;

The code looks tricky, so a proper comment should be added there.
