FS#11130 - Rewrite ascodec_as3514.c to use interrupts

This patch rewrites ascodec_as3514.c to use interrupts.
It gets rid of the ascodec mutex and instead introduces a mutex in adc-as3514.c.
Requests are handled using a simple request queue, and allows asynchronous request to be started from interrupt context.
The (20+sizeof(struct wakeup)) bytes request struct is either allocated on the stack (synchronous read/write) or has to be allocated statically by the caller (asynchronous read).

The asynchronous write is used in system-as3525.c (which is run with interrupts disabled).
asynchronous reads are used by another pending patch of mine implementing AUDIO_IRQ (int 9) handling for usb_plug detection without needing a thread.

Good work!

You changed ascodec_lock() into a adc specific lock in adc-as3514.c, but this file is also used by e200v1/c200v1 : doesn’t it cause a problem for those devices?

Good question. I think you’re right. Updated patch attached.

Tested on Clip+ : OK

Tested on e260v2 with r25262:

When I attach the USB cable while in the Rockbox menu I intermittently get a black screen lockup that requires a long poweroff (10 secs) to recover.

All other functions appear normal.

Only with this patch? Or with 11130+11131 applied?
Since 11130 doesn’t change the usb detection I wonder why it should cause a lockup on usb plugin…

Hmm, backlight is controlled using as3514 on e200 though and system_reboot() calls _backlight_off() (why? If it reboots the backlight will be turned back on very soon anyway…). So if system_reboot() is called with interrupts disabled it would hang. Though it’s should be called from the usb thread, which means interrupts should be enabled and I don’t see why suddenly at that point the interrupt wouldn’t fire if it has been working fine that far…

Can you try this?
It will fall back to polling if irqs are disabled.

I tested this patch by itself first, and then tested 11131 along with this patch. The lockup occurred in both cases.

So far, with minimal testing, the new patch looks good. I have not had any lockups, yet. I will continue testing throughout the day. I will also test it with 11131 also applied.

After further testing, I have not had any lockups with the latest patch. No other problems noted.
