This patch add dt bindings for Qualcomm APR (Asynchronous Packet Router)
bus driver. This bus is used for communicating with DSP which provides
audio and various other services to cpu.

It might not vary for a given SoC, but It does vary across the SoCs.
Also the versions of each service are independent to each other.

No, DAI's here are both backends and frontends, and some of the services 
like core, USM are not DAI's

Are you also saying that we should have a single driver entity for all 
these services?

APR bus depends on the state of DSP services, which can go off if the 
DSP crashes or DSP is stopped. If we remove this sound card out of apr 
bus then the sound card dependency on apr bus is totally lost.

Main purpose of having sound card under this bus is that the sound card 
should register/unregister depending up the apr channel presence/absence 
respectively.

Sorry for not being clear, so the services like AFE, ASM, ADM have 
different version numbers for a given SoC/firmware.

Not 100% sure if firmware updates would change the service version 
number, even if it does, it can be queried dynamically on new B family 
SoCs, and on older A Family SoCs I have not seen the firmware updates in 
last 4 years.

> I don't see any versioning of services here.


Yes, Plan is that it will be part of the compatible string in cases 
where version query is not supported on older QCOM A family SoCs.
On B Family SoCs we can query the version dynamically.

Yes, I will give that a go.

So we will endup having something like this in DT for one frontend and 
backend dailink:

apr {
	compatible = "qcom,apr-v2";
	qcom,smd-channels = "apr_audio_svc";
	qcom,apr-dest-domain-id = <APR_DOMAIN_ADSP>

	q6audio: audiosvc {
		compatible = "qcom,q6audio-svc";
		qcom,apr-svcs = <APR_SVC_CORE APR_SVC_AFE APR_SVC_ASM>;
		qcom,apr-svc-names = "CORE", "AFE", "ASM";
	};

	sndcard {
		compatible = "qcom,msm8996-snd-card"
		qcom,model = "DB820c";
		qcom,audio-routing =
                 	"RX_BIAS", "MCLK";
		fe@1 {
                 	is-fe;
                         link-name = "MultiMedia1";
                         cpu {
                         	sound-dai = <&q6audio  APR_SVC_ASM MM1>	
			};
                         platform {
                         	sound-dai = <&q6audio APR_SVC_ASM MM1>;
                         };
                  };

		be@1 {
                 	link-name = "HDMI Playback";
			cpu {
                         	sound-dai = <&q6audio APR_SVC_AFE HDMI>;
                         };

                         platform {
	                        sound-dai = <&q6audio ARP_SVC_ADM>;
                         };

                         codec {
                         	sound-dai = <&hdmi 0>;
			};
             	};
	};
};

I did try your suggestion of making audio services into a single node 
and it ended up more messy and non scalable.

Mainly because q6afe node has more than one interface type of backend 
dais (child nodes).

Each of this backend dai may need board specific setting ex: MI2S case 
where board could wire up specific tx and rx lines from 4 possible lines 
for that board. Also other type of dais also have some interface 
specific properties.

MI2S example:
apr {
	...
	q6afe: q6afe {
		compatible = "qcom,q6afe";
		qcom,apr-svc-name = "AFE";
		qcom,apr-svc-id = <APR_SVC_AFE>;
		pinctrl-0 = <&ext_sec_tlmm_lines_act>;
		pinctrl-names = "default";
		#sound-dai-cells = <1>;

                 mi2s_prim_rx_dai@34{
			reg = <34>;
			rx-lines = <0>;
			...
		};

		mi2s_prim_tx_dai@35{
			reg = <35>;
			tx-lines = <1 2>
			...
		};
	     	...

Let's not start encoding DPCM into DT, DPCM is very much an
implemntation detail of the current stack which we're gradually pushing
towards replacing with something better.  What we want to be doing is
just treating components inside the SoC the same as components in a
CODEC, the routing within a SoC being the same as in a CODEC and
similarly for externally connected devices.

In particular having the concept of "front end" in the DT is *very*
implementation specific.  We should just be describing the connections
that exist in the system.

Yep, it makes sense. is-fe flag will be removed in next version, we can 
determine this based on codec dai, so from DT side FE or BE should not 
be any different.

+Qualcomm APR (Asynchronous Packet Router) binding
+
+This binding describes the Qualcomm APR. APR is a IPC protocol for
+communication between Application processor and QDSP. APR is mainly
+used for audio/voice services on the QDSP.
+
+- compatible:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <stringlist>
+	Definition: must be "qcom,apr-v<VERSION-NUMBER>", example "qcom,apr-v2"
+
+- qcom,apr-dest-domain-id
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	Definition: Destination processor ID.
+	Possible values are :
+			1 - APR simulator
+			2 - PC
+			3 - MODEM
+			4 - ADSP
+			5 - APPS
+			6 - MODEM2
+			7 - APPS2
+
+= APR SERVICES
+Each subnode of the APR node can represent service tied to this apr. The name
+of the nodes are not important. The properties of these nodes are defined
+by the individual bindings for the specific service
+- but must contain the following property:
+
+- qcom,apr-svc-id
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	Definition: APR Service ID, used for matching the service.
+	Possible values are :
+			3 - DSP Core Service
+			4 - Audio Front End Service.
+			5 - Voice Stream Manager Service.
+			6 - Voice processing manager.
+			7 - Audio Stream Manager Service.
+			8 - Audio Device Manager Service.
+			9 - Multimode voice manager.
+			10 - Core voice stream.
+			11 - Core voice processor.
+			12 - Ultrasound stream manager.
+			13 - Listen stream manager.
+
+- qcom,apr-svc-name
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <stringlist>
+	Definition: User readable name of a APR service.
+
+= APR DEVICES:
+Each subnode of the APR node can represent devices tied to this apr, like
+sound-card. The properties of these nodes are defined by the individual
+bindings for the specific device.
+
+= EXAMPLE
+The following example represents a QDSP based sound card on a MSM8996 device
+which uses apr as communication between Apps and QDSP.
+
+	apr {
+		compatible = "qcom,apr-v2";
+		qcom,smd-channels = "apr_audio_svc";
+		qcom,apr-dest-domain-id = <APR_DOMAIN_ADSP>;
+
+		q6core {
+			compatible = "qcom,q6core";
+			qcom,apr-svc-name = "CORE";
+			qcom,apr-svc-id = <APR_SVC_ADSP_CORE>;
+		};
+
+		q6afe {
+			compatible = "qcom,q6afe";
+			qcom,apr-svc-name = "AFE";
+			qcom,apr-svc-id = <APR_SVC_AFE>;
+		};
+
+		audio {
+			compatible = "qcom,msm8996-snd-card";
+			...
+		};
+	};
