Phoronix: AMDGPU ACP Support Called For Merging Still Into Linux 4.5

While the Linux 4.5 kernel's merge window ended more than one week ago, it looks like the AMDGPU driver may get a late feature arrival: ACP support...

"ACP is the Audo Co-Processor" you dropped an 'i".

It's nice to see AMD working on an open design that is more modular in development.

Neat! Let's hope there will be support in programs for it. Or does the driver somehow automatically parse commands and filter out computing intensive things that fit for the ASIC and send it to the ASIC to do the work?

It just enables the dma engine on the ACP block to feed the i2s codec. There is no support for the DSP at this point.
