As diffstat shows, we've had lots of developments in a wide range
at this time; the majority of changes are about ASoC, including
subsystem-wide cleanups, continued SOF / Intel updates and a
bunch of new drivers (as usual), while there have been some
significant (but almost invisible) improvements in ALSA core
side, too. Below are some highlights:
Core:
- Faster lookups of control elements with Xarray; normal user
won't notice, but on the devices with tons of control elements,
it can be visibly faster
- Support for input validation for controls; this will harden
for badly written drivers in general with a slight overhead
- Deferred async signal handling for working around the potential
deadlocks
- Cleanup / refactoring raw MIDI locking code
ASoC:
- Restructing of the set_fmt() callbacks for making things clearer
in situations like CODEC to CODEC links
- Clean up and modernizing the DAI naming scheme setups
- Merge of more of the Intel AVS driver stack, including some
board integrations
- New version 4 mechanism for communication with SOF DSPs
- Suppoort for dynamically selecting the PLL to use at runtime on
i.MX platforms
- Improvements for CODEC to CODEC support in the generic cards
- Support for AMD Jadeite and various machines, AMD RPL, Intel
MetorLake DSPs, Mediatek MT8186 DSPs and MT6366, nVidia Tegra
MDDRC, OPE and PEQ, NXP TFA9890, Qualcomm SDM845, WCD9335 and
WAS883x, and Texas Instruments TAS2780
HD- and USB-audio:
- Continued improvement for CS35L41 (sub)codec support
- More quirks for various devices (HP, Lenovo, Dell, Clevo)
