    ASoC: Add support for Conexant CX20442-11 voice modem codec · 459dc352

    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.
