+Renesas R-Car sound
+
+=============================================
+* Modules
+=============================================
+
+Renesas R-Car and RZ/G sound is constructed from below modules
+(for Gen2 or later)
+
+ SCU : Sampling Rate Converter Unit
+ - SRC : Sampling Rate Converter
+ - CMD
+ - CTU : Channel Transfer Unit
+ - MIX : Mixer
+ - DVC : Digital Volume and Mute Function
+ SSIU : Serial Sound Interface Unit
+ SSI : Serial Sound Interface
+
+See detail of each module's channels, connection, limitation on datasheet
+
+=============================================
+* Multi channel
+=============================================
+
+Multi channel is supported by Multi-SSI, or TDM-SSI.
+
+ Multi-SSI : 6ch case, you can use stereo x 3 SSI
+ TDM-SSI : 6ch case, you can use TDM
+
+=============================================
+* Enable/Disable each modules
+=============================================
+
+See datasheet to check SRC/CTU/MIX/DVC connect-limitation.
+DT controls enabling/disabling module.
+${LINUX}/arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7790-lager.dts can be good example.
+This is example of
+
+Playback: [MEM] -> [SRC2] -> [DVC0] -> [SSIU0/SSI0] -> [codec]
+Capture: [MEM] <- [DVC1] <- [SRC3] <- [SSIU1/SSI1] <- [codec]
+
+see "Example: simple sound card"
+
+You can use below.
+${LINUX}/arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7790.dts can be good example.

+ &src0 &ctu00 &mix0 &dvc0 &ssi0
+ &src1 &ctu01 &mix1 &dvc1 &ssi1
+ &src2 &ctu02 &ssi2
+ &src3 &ctu03 &ssi3
+ &src4 &ssi4
+ &src5 &ctu10 &ssi5
+ &src6 &ctu11 &ssi6
+ &src7 &ctu12 &ssi7
+ &src8 &ctu13 &ssi8
+ &src9 &ssi9
+
+=============================================
+* SRC (Sampling Rate Converter)
+=============================================
+
+ [xx]Hz [yy]Hz
+ ------> [SRC] ------>
+
+SRC can convert [xx]Hz to [yy]Hz. Then, it has below 2 modes
+
+ Asynchronous mode: input data / output data are based on different clocks.
+ you can use this mode on Playback / Capture
+ Synchronous mode: input data / output data are based on same clocks.
+ This mode will be used if system doesn't have its input clock,
+ for example digital TV case.
+ you can use this mode on Playback
+
+------------------
+** Asynchronous mode
+------------------
+
+You need to use "simple-scu-audio-card" or "audio-graph-scu-card" for it.
+see "Example: simple sound card for Asynchronous mode"
+
+------------------
+** Synchronous mode
+------------------

+ > aplay xxxx.wav
+ > amixer set "SRC Out Rate" 48000
+ > amixer set "SRC Out Rate" 44100
+
+=============================================
+* CTU (Channel Transfer Unit)
+=============================================
+
+ [xx]ch [yy]ch
+ ------> [CTU] -------->
+
+CTU can convert [xx]ch to [yy]ch, or exchange outputed channel.
+CTU conversion needs matrix settings.
+For more detail information, see below
+
+ Renesas R-Car datasheet
+ - Sampling Rate Converter Unit (SCU)
+ - SCU Operation
+ - CMD Block
+ - Functional Blocks in CMD

+ - Register Description
+ - CTUn Scale Value exx Register (CTUn_SVxxR)

+ ${LINUX}/sound/soc/sh/rcar/ctu.c
+ - comment of header
+
+You need to use "simple-scu-audio-card" or "audio-graph-scu-card" for it.
+see "Example: simple sound card for channel convert"
+
+Ex) Exchange output channel
+ Input -> Output
+ 1ch -> 0ch
+ 0ch -> 1ch
+
+ example of using matrix
+ output 0ch = (input 0ch x 0) + (input 1ch x 1)
+ output 1ch = (input 0ch x 1) + (input 1ch x 0)

+
+=============================================
+* MIX (Mixer)
+=============================================
+
+MIX merges 2 sounds path. You can see 2 sound interface on system,
+and these sounds will be merged by MIX.
+
+ aplay -D plughw:0,0 xxxx.wav &
+ aplay -D plughw:0,1 yyyy.wav
+
+You need to use "simple-scu-audio-card" or "audio-graph-scu-card" for it.
+Ex)
+ [MEM] -> [SRC1] -> [CTU02] -+-> [MIX0] -> [DVC0] -> [SSI0]
+ |
+ [MEM] -> [SRC2] -> [CTU03] -+
+
+see "Example: simple sound card for MIXer"
+
+=============================================
+* DVC (Digital Volume and Mute Function)
+=============================================
+
+DVC controls Playback/Capture volume.
+
+Playback Volume
+ amixer set "DVC Out" 100%
+
+Capture Volume
+ amixer set "DVC In" 100%
+
+Playback Mute
+ amixer set "DVC Out Mute" on
+
+Capture Mute
+ amixer set "DVC In Mute" on
+
+Volume Ramp
+ amixer set "DVC Out Ramp Up Rate" "0.125 dB/64 steps"
+ amixer set "DVC Out Ramp Down Rate" "0.125 dB/512 steps"
+ amixer set "DVC Out Ramp" on
+ aplay xxx.wav &
+ amixer set "DVC Out" 80% // Volume Down
+ amixer set "DVC Out" 100% // Volume Up
+
+=============================================
+* SSIU (Serial Sound Interface Unit)
+=============================================
+
+SSIU can avoid some under/over run error, because it has some buffer.
+But you can't use it if SSI was PIO mode.
+In DMA mode, you can select not to use SSIU by using "no-busif" via SSI.
+
+SSIU handles BUSIF which will be used for TDM Split mode.
+This driver is assuming that audio-graph card will be used.
+
+TDM Split mode merges 4 sounds. You can see 4 sound interface on system,
+and these sounds will be merged SSIU/SSI.
+
+ aplay -D plughw:0,0 xxxx.wav &
+ aplay -D plughw:0,1 xxxx.wav &
+ aplay -D plughw:0,2 xxxx.wav &
+ aplay -D plughw:0,3 xxxx.wav
+
+ 2ch 8ch
+ [MEM] -> [SSIU 30] -+-> [SSIU 3] --> [Codec]
+ 2ch |
+ [MEM] -> [SSIU 31] -+
+ 2ch |
+ [MEM] -> [SSIU 32] -+
+ 2ch |
+ [MEM] -> [SSIU 33] -+
+
+see "Example: simple sound card for TDM Split"
+
+=============================================
+* SSI (Serial Sound Interface)
+=============================================
+
+** PIO mode
+
+You can use PIO mode which is for connection check by using.
+Note: The system will drop non-SSI modules in PIO mode
+even though if DT is selecting other modules.
+
+ &ssi0 {
+ pio-transfer
+ };
+
+** DMA mode without SSIU
+
+You can use DMA without SSIU.
+Note: under/over run, or noise are likely to occur
+
+ &ssi0 {
+ no-busif;
+ };
+
+** PIN sharing
+
+Each SSI can share WS pin. It is based on platform.
+This is example if SSI1 want to share WS pin with SSI0
+
+ &ssi1 {
+ shared-pin;
+ };
+
+** Multi-SSI
+
+You can use Multi-SSI.
+This is example of SSI0/SSI1/SSI2 (= for 6ch)
+
+see "Example: simple sound card for Multi channel"
+
+** TDM-SSI
+
+You can use TDM with SSI.
+This is example of TDM 6ch.
+Driver can automatically switches TDM <-> stereo mode in this case.
+
+see "Example: simple sound card for TDM"
