6b275b1400 ALSA: hda - Fix power of pins used for mute LED with vrefs
Some pins are used for controlling the LED with the VREF value.
This patch changes the power behavior of such pins to be constantly
up.  A new state, pin_fixed, is introduced to nid_path to indicate
that the path contains the fixed pin.  This improves also the
readability a bit for other static routes, too.

Then a helper function snd_hda_gen_fix_pin_power() is called from the
codec driver for such fixed pins, and it will create fake paths
containing only these pins with pin_fixed=1 flag.

e6feb5d085 ALSA: hda - Support advanced power state controls
This patch enables the finer power state control of each widget
depending on the jack plug state and streaming state in addition to
the existing power_down_unused power optimization.  The new feature is
enabled only when codec->power_mgmt flag is set.

Two new flags, pin_enabled and stream_enabled, are introduced in
nid_path struct for marking the two individual power states: the pin
plug/unplug and DAC/ADC stream, respectively.  They can be set
statically in case they are static routes (e.g. some mixer paths),
too.

The power up and down events for each pin are triggered via the
standard hda_jack table.  The call order is hard-coded, relying on the
current implementation of jack event chain (a la FILO/stack order).

One point to be dealt carefully is that DAC/ADC cannot be powered
on/off while streaming.  They are pinned as long as the stream is
running.  For controlling the power of DAC/ADC, a new patch_ops is
added.  The generic parser provides the default callback for that.

As of this patch, only IDT/Sigmatel codec driver enables the flag.
The support on other codecs will follow.

An assumption we made in this code is that the widget state (e.g. amp,
pinctl, connections) remains after the widget power transition (not
about FG power transition).  This is true for IDT codecs, at least.
But if the widget state is lost at widget power transition, we'd need
to implement additional code to sync the cached amp/verbs for the
specific NID.

bbbc7e8502 ALSA: hda - Allocate hda_pcm objects dynamically
So far, the hda_codec object kept the hda_pcm list in an array, and
the codec driver was expected to assign the array.  However, this
makes the object life cycle management harder, because the assigned
array is freed at the codec driver detach while it might be still
accessed by the opened streams.

In this patch, we allocate each hda_pcm object dynamically and manage
it as a linked list.  Each object has a kref refcount, and both the
codec driver binder and the PCM open/close touches it, so that the
object won't be freed while in use.

1a4f69d5aa ALSA: hda - Allow multiple callbacks for jack
So far, hda_jack infrastructure allows only one callback per jack, and
this makes things slightly complicated when a driver wants to assign
multiple tasks to a jack, e.g. the standard auto-mute with a power
up/down sequence.  This can be simplified if the hda_jack accepts
multiple callbacks.

This patch is such an extension: the callback-specific part (the
function and private_data) is split to another struct from
hda_jack_tbl, and multiple such objects can be assigned to a single
hda_jack_tbl entry.

The new struct hda_jack_callback is passed to each callback function
now, thus the patch became bigger than expected.  But these changes
are mostly trivial.

62f949bf6b ALSA: hda - Get rid of action field from struct hda_jack_tbl
The action value assigned to each hda_jack_tbl entry is mostly
superfluous.  The actually used values are either the widget NID or a
value specific to the callback.

The former case can be simply replaced by a reference to widget NID
itself.  The only place doing the latter is STAC/IDT codec driver for
the powermap handling.  But, the code doesn't need to check the action
field at all -- the function jack_update_power() is called either with
a specific pin or with NULL.  So the check of jack->action can be
removed completely there, too.

d89c6c0c91 ALSA: hda - Add TLV_DB_SCALE_MUTE bit for relevant controls
The DACs on Sigmatel/IDT codecs do mute at the lowest volume level,
and in the earlier drivers, we passed TLV_DB_SCALE_MUTE bit for each
volume control element like Speaker and Headphone as well as Master.
Along with the translation to the generic parser, however, the TLV bit
was lost for the slave controls (e.g. Speaker) but set only to
Master.  In theory this should have sufficed, but apps, particularly
PA, do care the slave volume bits, so we seem to see a regression in
the volume controls.

This patch adds a flag to hda_gen_spec to specify the DAC mute
feature, and adds the TLV bit properly for all relevant volume
controls.  Also, the TLV bit for vmaster is set in hda_generic.c, so
that we can get rid of all tricks from the codec driver side.

As the similar hack is applied to Conexant 5051 stuff, we can get rid
of it as well.

7fe307117d ALSA: hda - Fix inconsistent Mic mute LED
The current code for controlling mic mute LED in patch_sigmatel.c
blindly assumes that there is a single capture switch.  But, there can
be multiple multiple ones, and each of them flips the state, ended up
in an inconsistent state.

For fixing this problem, this patch adds kcontrol to be passed to the
hook function so that the callee can check which switch is being
accessed.  In stac_capture_led_hook(), the state is checked as a
bitmask, and turns on the LED when all capture switches are off.

3690739b01 ALSA: hda - Add static DAC/pin mapping for AD1986A codec
AD1986A codec is a pretty old codec and has really many hidden
restrictions.  One of such is that each DAC is dedicated to certain
pin although there are possible connections.  Currently, the generic
parser tries to assign individual DACs as much as possible, and this
lead to two bad situations: connections where the sound actually
doesn't work, and connections conflicting other channels.

We may fix this by trying to find the best connections more harder,
but as of now, it's easier to give some hints for paired DAC/pin
connections and honor them if available, since such a hint is needed
only for specific codecs (right now only AD1986A, and there will be
unlikely any others in future).

da96fb5b01 ALSA: hda - Fix invalid multi-io creation on VAIO-Z laptops
VAIO-Z laptops need to use the specific DAC for the speaker output
by some unknown reason although the codec itself supports the flexible
connection.  So we implemented a workaround by a new flag,
no_primary_hp, for assigning the speaker pin first.

This worked until 3.8 kernel, but it got broken because the driver
learned for a better multi-io pin mapping, and not it can assign two
mic pins for multi-io.  Since the multi-io requires to be the primary
output, the hp and two mic pins are assigned in prior to the speaker
in the end.

Although the machine has two mic pins, one of them is used as a noise-
canceling headphone, thus it's no real retaskable mic jack.  Thus, at
best, we can disable the multi-io assignment and make the parser
behavior back to the state before the multi-io.

This patch adds again a new flag, no_multi_io, to indicate that the
device has no multi-io capability, and set it in the fixup for
VAIO-Z.  The no_multi_io flag itself can be used generically, added
via a helper line, too.

7eebffd3f4 ALSA: hda - Add auto_mute_via_amp flag to generic parser
Add a new flag, auto_mute_via_amp, to determine the behavior of the
headphone / line-out auto-mute.  When this flag is set, the generic
driver mutes the speaker and line outputs via the amp mute of each
pin, instead of changing the pin control values.

This is introduced for devices that don't work expectedly with the pin
control values; for example, some devices are known to keep enabling
the speaker outputs no matter which pin control values are set on the
speaker pins.

The driver doesn't check actually whether the pins have the output amp
caps, but assumes that the proper mixer (mute) controls are created on
all these pins.  If not the case, you can't use this flag for your
device.

8ba955cef3 ALSA: hda - Avoid automatic pin-ctl update for hp/mic when jack ctl exists
When the headphone mic jack enum control is created (via explicitly
specification by user), it doesn't make much sense to change the I/O
direction dynamically per capture source change, since the I/O
direction is rather controlled over the enum ctl.

This also reduces the implicit dependency between the capture source
and the hp mic jack enum ctls, which might confuse a program accessing
the whole control elements at once like alsactl.

In addition, this patch introduces update_hp_automute_hook() function
to call the proper hook function.  It's just to remove the open codes
in multiple places in hda_generic.c.

a1e908edcc ALSA: hda - Fix conflicts between Loopback Mixing and Independent HP
This patch eventually fixes two issues:
- Handle the case where the primary output is a headphone and can have
  independent HP mode;
  so far we checked only the case where the headphone is the secondary
  output.

- Fix the conflict of HP independent mode and aamix mode;
  when switched to aamix mode, the DAC might be also switched to
  another widget shared with other outputs.  Then even if we disable
  the DAC for the original output, it doesn't change -- because the
  active route is from another (shared) DAC to HP pin through aamix.
  So, in such a case, we have to prohibit the switch to aamix for HP
  routes.

This fixes issues appearing on VT codecs.

As a more generic implementation, consolidate these two hooks, and
pass snd_ctl_elem_value pointer as the second argument.  If the
secondary argument is non-NULL, it can take the on/off value, so the
caller handles it like the former capture_switch_hook.  If it's NULL,

e6b85f3c9d ALSA: hda - Add pcm_playback_hook to hda_gen_spec
The new hook which is called at each PCM playback ops.
It can be used to control the codec-specific power-saving feature in
each codec driver.

c2c803830a ALSA: hda - Drop bind-volume workaround
The bind-volume workaround was introduced for simplifying the mixer
abstraction in the case where one or more pins of multiple outputs
lack of individual volume controls.  This was essentially the case
like Acer Aspire 5935, which has 5.1 speakers and 5.1 (multi-io)
jacks although there are 5 DACs, so some of them must share a DAC.

However, the recent code rewrite changed the DAC assignment policy to
share with the same channel instead of binding to the front, thus
binding the volumes for all channels makes little sense now, rather
it's confusing.  So in this patch, the ugly workaround is finally
dropped and simply create the volume control corresponding to the
parsed path position.

For dual headphones or 2.1 speakers with a shared volume control, it's
anyway bound to the same DAC if needed, so this change shouldn't bring
any practical difference.

And, as a good bonus, we can cut off the whole code handling the bind
volume elements.

c30aa7b242 ALSA: hda - Add Loopback Mixing control
For codecs that have individual routes going through a loopback mixer
(like VIA codecs), we need to provide an explicit switch to choose
whether the output goes through mixer or directly from DAC.

This patch adds the check for such paths and creates "Loopback Mixing"
enum control when available.

It won't influence on codecs like Realtek or others where the loopback
mixer is connected independently from the primary output routes.
