ADV7533 only supports audio samples word width from 16-24 bits.
This patch restricts the audio sample sizes to the supported ones,
so that sound card does not report wrong list of supported hwparms.

Without this patch aplay would fail when playing a 32 bit audio.

I'm not sure that this limitation is needed.
I already used ADV7513 and i did not observe this limitation.

I had a look to ADV7533 data-sheet. it should support 32 and 64 bits I2S
format bus, with 16 or 24 bits precision sample. So it should support
SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_LE and SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_BE

As example, if you configure bus in Left justified format with 24 bits
sample length, 32 bits application samples should be truncated to 24
bits samples at ADV7533 I2S interface level (LSB dropped).

Perhaps i missed something... but look like more an I2S bus
configuration issue in your DT card description, that that a miss in the
drivers.

ADV7511_REG_AUDIO_CFG3(0x14) register definition in datasheet and the 
code in this driver suggest that It only supports 16Bit and 24Bit samples.

May be we can do that to make the user happy but isn't this just 
truncate the resolution to 24Bit then?

And it's a false indication that we are supporting 32bit samples.
Which am not very happy with.

Nothing to do with DT or other driver, adv7533 audio driver does not 
support 32 bit sample size which is why it would return -EINVAL from
adv7511_hdmi_hw_params().

This patch is fixing the loose ends, by which I mean the card would 
report the exact supported sample sizes to user rather than every thing 
in the I2S_FORMATS list.

The amount of data it pays attention to in the frame is not the same as
the size of the frame.

This is what the sample_bits field in the DAI structure is for.

I agree.

But still reporting that driver supports 32 bit samples when it does not 
really support all 32 bits, is kinda misleading to user.
Isn't it?

And the driver would be end up with hacked up code for each case.

No.  Please read what I wrote and look at what setting sample_bits does.

By experience, this is usual. As example, if you have a look to codec
ad193x (i take one randomly) it support 16, 20, 24 and 32 bits frames.
But if you have a look to AD1939 data-sheet it supports 24-bits conversion.
Some other examples could be 13-bits DAC/ADC with 16 bits samples.

In term of audio quality, truncation to a 24 bits sample should generate
an negligible additional error equal to the LSB bit: -20log(2^24)= -144dB.

It is just a personal opinion, but if have the choice between do
truncation in software (application or alsa-lib) and in hardware, i
would prefer the second one.
