This patch adds support for Conexant CX20442-11 voice modem codec, suitable
for use by the ASoC board driver for Amstrad E3 (Delta) videophone. Related
sound card driver will follow.
This codec is an optional part of the Conexant SmartV three chip modem design.
As such, documentation for its proprietary digital audio interface is not
available. However, on Amstrad Delta board, thanks to Mark Underwood who
created an initial, omap-alsa based sound driver a few years ago[1], the codec
has been discovered to be accessible not only from the modem side, but also
over the OMAP McBSP based CPU DAI. Thus, the driver can be used by any sound
card that can access the codec DAI directly. The DAI configuration parameters
(sample rate and format, number of channels) has been selected out empirically
for best user experience.
The codec analogue interface consists of two pairs of analogue I/O pins:
speakerphone interface or telephone handset/headset interface. Furthermore, it
seams to provide two operation modes for speakerphone I/O: standard and
advanced, with automatic gain control and echo cancelation. Even if the codec
control interface is unknown and not available, all those interfaces and modes
can be selected over the modem chip using V.253 commands. The driver is able
to issue necessary commands over a suitable hw_write function if provided by a
sound card driver. Otherwise, the codec can be controlled over the modem from
userspace while inactive.
Even if nothig is known about the codec internal power management
capabilities, DAPM widgets has been used to model the codec audio map.
Automatically performed powering up/down of those virtual widgets results in
corresponding V.253 commands being issued.
Some driver features/oddities may be board specific, but I have no way to
verify that with any board other than Amstrad Delta.
