The above table describes the memory format, not the wire format.
Look further down for SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S24_3LE, which is 24-bit
packed into three bytes (see include/uapi/sound/asound.h for
the comment specifying that.)

ASoC uses DAIFMT to specify the on-wire format in connection with
the above.

However, having 32-clocks per sample is quite normal with I2S.

It is not correct to use the physical width - as can be seen from the
table, if you check the 3-byte memory format, you'll see that it has
a physical width of 24. That doesn't mean that the bus has 24 clocks
per sample.

Looking at kirkwood-i2s, which is one of the setups that the I2S mode
was apparently originally tested (not by me), it seems to do the same
thing as the FSL SSI - 32 clocks per sample with BCLK being 64Fs -
there is a comment "I2S always uses 32 bits per channel" which implies
64Fs.

When I2S mode patches appeared, I did wonder about that code which
depends on the sample width rather than the Fs value, but I assumed
that it had been tested with all different formats, etc. Maybe that
was a false assumption to make.

As it is possible to have 16-bit samples at 64Fs or 32Fs, and if the
TDA998x is counting BCLKs, knowing the Fs value is necessary to know
how to program the TDA998x to generate the CTS value.

Now, ASoC has a bunch of functions that allows the wire format to be
controlled. E.g., snd_soc_dai_set_fmt() sets which end provides the
master clock, the polarity of the clocks, whether the samples are left
or right justified. There is also snd_soc_dai_set_bclk_ratio(), which
is documented as:

/**
* snd_soc_dai_set_bclk_ratio - configure BCLK to sample rate ratio.
* @dai: DAI
* @ratio: Ratio of BCLK to Sample rate.
*
* Configures the DAI for a preset BCLK to sample rate ratio.
*/

which would have ratio=64 for 64Fs. The problem is, though, that no
one appears to call this function, and fewer implement the method
(hdmi-codec being one of those which does not.)

Don't think that any of the information that is available is much
better! There's a few register descriptions but nothing that really
describes how all the various register settings hang together.

For example, the CTS_N register M and K values are:

M select: postdivider mts (measured time stamp)
0 CTS = mts
1 CTS = mts / 2
2 CTS = mts / 4
3 CTS = mts / 8

K select: predivider (scales n)
0 k=1
1 k=2
2 k=3
3 k=4
4+ k=8

Then there's the SEL_FS field in the AIP_CLKSEL register:

select fs: CTS reference

which is surely the mts reference, if CTS is derived from mts.

This doesn't really help in terms of working out what the correct
settings should be, and other information I have laying around does not
provide any further enlightenment.

I think what I'd like to see is passing of the Fs value into the driver
from hdmi-codec, but I suspect that requires a bit of work in multiple
drivers.
