ALSA: usb-audio: Register card at the last interface

The USB-audio driver matches per interface, and as default, it
registers the card instance at the very first instance. This can be a
problem for the devices that have multiple interfaces to be probed, as
the udev rule isn't applied properly for the later appearing
interfaces. Although we introduced the delayed_register option and
the quirks for covering those shortcomings, it's nothing but a
workaround for specific devices.

This patch is an another attempt to fix the problem in a more generic
way. Now the driver checks the whole USB device descriptor at the
very first time when an interface is attached to a sound card. It
looks at each matching interface in the descriptor and remembers the
last matching one. The snd_card_register() is invoked only when this
last interface is probed.

After this change, the quirks for the delayed registration become
superfluous, hence they are removed along with the patch. OTOH, the
delayed_register option is still kept, as it might be useful for some
corner cases (e.g. a special driver overtakes the interface probe from
the standard driver, and the last interface probe may miss).

ALSA: usb-audio: Introduce quirk_flags field

As more and more device-specific workarounds came up and gathered in
various places, it becomes harder to manage. Now it's time to clean
up and collect workarounds more consistently and make them more easily
applicable.

This patch is the first step for that: a new field quirk_flags is
introduced in snd_usb_audio struct to contain the bit flags for
various device-specific quirks. Those are separate one from the
quirks in quirks-table.h; the quirks-table.h entries are for more
intrusive stuff that needs the descriptor override, while the new
quirk_flags is for easier ones that are tied with the vendor:product
IDs.

In this patch, as the first example, we convert the list of devices
and vendors to ignore GET_SAMPLE_RATE, formerly defined in
snb_usb_get_sample_rate_quirk().

ALSA: usb-audio: Add boot quirk for MOTU M Series

Add delay to make sure that audio urbs are not sent too early.
Otherwise the device hangs. Windows driver makes ~2s delay, so use
about the same time delay value.

snd_usb_apply_boot_quirk() is called 3 times for my MOTU M4, which
is an overkill. Thus a quirk that is called only once is implemented.

Also send two vendor-specific control messages before and after
the delay. This behaviour is blindly copied from the Windows driver.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

# 79289e24 11-Jan-2016 Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

ALSA: usb-audio: Refer to chip->usb_id for quirks and MIDI creation

This is a preliminary patch for the later change to allow a better
quirk ID management. In the current USB-audio code, there are a few
places looking at usb_device idVendor and idProduct fields directly
even though we have already a static member in snd_usb_audio.usb_id.
This patch modifies such codes to refer to the latter field.

For achieving this, two slightly intensive changes have been done:
- The snd_usb_audio object is set/reset via dev_getdrv() for the given
USB device; it's needed for minimizing the changes for some existing
quirks that take only usb_device object.

- __snd_usbmidi_create() is introduced to receive the pre-given usb_id
argument. The exported snd_usbmidi_create() is unchanged by calling
this new function internally.

# b62b9980 16-Feb-2015 Joe Turner <joe@oampo.co.uk>

ALSA: usb-audio: Don't attempt to get Lifecam HD-5000 sample rate

Adds a quirk to disable the check that the sample rate has been set correctly, as the Lifecam does not support getting the sample rate.

This means that we don't need to wait for the USB timeout when attempting to get the sample rate. Waiting for the timeout causes problems in some applications, which give up on the device acquisition process before it has had time to complete, resulting in no sound.

ALSA: snd-usb: add quirks handler for DSD streams

Unfortunately, none of the UAC standards provides a way to identify DSD
(Direct Stream Digital) formats. Hence, this patch adds a quirks
handler to identify USB interfaces that are capable of handling DSD.

That quirks handler can augment the already parsed formats bit-field,
by any of the new SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_DSD_{U8_U16} and setting the dsd_dop
flag in the audio format, if the driver should take care for the DOP
byte stuffing.

The only devices that are known to work with this are the ones with
a 'Playback Designs' vendor id.

ALSA: snd-usb: Add quirks for Playback Designs devices

Playback Designs' USB devices have some hardware limitations on their
USB interface. In particular:

- They need a 20ms delay after each class compliant request as the
hardware ACKs the USB packets before the device is actually ready
for the next command. Sending data immediately will result in buffer
overflows in the hardware.
- The devices send bogus feedback data at the start of each stream
which confuse the feedback format auto-detection.

This patch introduces a new quirks hook that is called after each
control packet and which adds a delay for all devices that match
Playback Designs' USB VID for now.

In addition, it adds a counter to snd_usb_endpoint to drop received
packets on the floor. Another new quirks function that is called once
an endpoint is started initializes that counter for these devices on
their sync endpoint.

ALSA: usb-audio: refactor code

Clean up the usb audio driver by factoring out a lot of functions to
separate files. Code for procfs, quirks, urbs, format parsers etc all
got a new home now.

Moved almost all special quirk handling to quirks.c and introduced new
generic functions to handle them, so the exceptions do not pollute the
whole driver.

Renamed usbaudio.c to card.c because this is what it actually does now.
Renamed usbmidi.c to midi.c for namespace clarity.
Removed more things from usbaudio.h.

The non-standard drivers were adopted accordingly.
