The out-of-tree vendor driver uses the following approach to set the
AIU_I2S_MISC register:
1) write AIU_MEM_I2S_START_PTR and AIU_MEM_I2S_RD_PTR
2) configure AIU_I2S_MUTE_SWAP[15:0]
3) write AIU_MEM_I2S_END_PTR
4) set AIU_I2S_MISC[2] to 1 (documented as: "put I2S interface in hold
   mode")
5) set AIU_I2S_MISC[4] to 1 (depending on the driver revision it always
   stays at 1 while for older drivers this bit is unset in step 4)
6) set AIU_I2S_MISC[2] to 0
7) write AIU_MEM_I2S_MASKS
8) toggle AIU_MEM_I2S_CONTROL[0]
9) toggle AIU_MEM_I2S_BUF_CNTL[0]

Additional testing shows that when AIU_I2S_MISC[2] is set to 1 then no
interrupts are generated anymore. The way this bit is managed by the
vendor driver as well as not getting any interrupts can mean that it's
related to the FIFO and not the encoder.

Move setting the AIU_I2S_MISC[2] bit to aiu_fifo_i2s_hw_params() so it
closer resembles the flow in the vendor kernel. While here also
configure AIU_I2S_MISC[4] (documented as: "force each audio data to
left or right according to the bit attached with the audio data")
similar to how the vendor driver does this. This fixes the infamous and
long-standing "machine gun noise" issue (a buffer underrun issue).

Hi, Martin,

Thanks for working on this!

I will give it a test and let you know.

Thanks,
Geraldo Nascimento

Thanks Martin.

Checked with WeTek Play 2 (GXBB), LePotato (GXL), and Khadas VIM2 (GXM)
so I’m delighted to say:

About the test setup:

Board is from H96Pro+ TV BOX, Amlogic S912 with 3G RAM, 32GB eMMC and a
QCA9377 SDIO wifi chip. Sticker in the underside of the board says
CZ-S32-V6 which I suppose is the manufacturer's name/revision of the
PCB.

Tested with Audacious, audio output is ALSA without any plugins such as
dmix, etc.

First I made sure the problem was reproducible. Just skipping the track
on Audacious from one point to another would result in severe noise. I
then applied Martin's patch and noise is gone for good.

Thanks,
Geraldo Nascimento

Not necessarily. If the encoder stops pulling data, the FIFO will going
over the DDR. Since it generates an IRQ after reading N bytes, IRQ would
stop too. AFAIK, if the pipeline is stalled, the IRQ stops anyway

I understand the part of HOLD, not about FORCE_LR.
Is it necessary to fix the problem ? Have you tested without this change
?

Well done ! It took us a while to nail it, Thanks a lot !!

If it is necessary, even if we don't really understand why, it is fine
by me. But if it is not, I would prefer we leave it out of it, or at
least, make it a separate patch.

ah, right. so I think you're right: it can be either way

On my Le Potato board (GXL / S905X) FORCE_LR is either enabled by the
bootloader or being enabled is the default value.
All versions of the vendor driver are also setting it in some way,
including the latest one that I have access to [0].
I prefer to keep this explicit write in for two reasons:
- we're not hit by surprise if some SoC/bootloaders don't set this bit
by default
- the code in the mainline does not skip anything that the vendor driver does

To specifically answer your question: I have not tried whether this
bit needs to be set and if unsetting it manually breaks anything.

Thanks - this took a while to figure out but it's great to finally
have it solved!

+1
Would you mind adding a comment in the code saying just that - so we
know why it's there ?

You can bet I've skipped a fair share of what the vendor driver does, on
purpose.
