From 9210f5ff6318163835d9e42ee68006be4da0f531 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabio Estevam Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 17:50:30 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: fsl: imx-card: Do not force slot width to sample width imx-card currently sets the slot width to the physical sample width for I2S links. This breaks controllers that use fixed-width slots (e.g. 32-bit FIFO words), causing the unused bits in the slot to contain undefined data when playing 16-bit streams. Do not override the slot width in the machine driver and let the CPU DAI select an appropriate default instead. This matches the behavior of simple-audio-card and avoids embedding controller-specific policy in the machine driver. On an i.MX8MP-based board using SAI as the I2S master with 32-bit slots, playing 16-bit audio resulted in spurious frequencies and an incorrect SAI data waveform, as the slot width was forced to 16 bits. After this change, audio artifacts are eliminated and the 16-bit samples correctly occupy the first half of the 32-bit slot, with the remaining bits padded with zeroes.
