@Jani @libin, is it possible for you to help contact Intel graphics hardware design engineer to get the reason why M/N doesn't work as you implemented in kernel code in Kabylake platform? I don't find good reason in bspec.

If it's a regression, we need to backport the fix to stable kernels, and the patch needs annotation: Fixes: 6014ac122ed0 ("drm/i915/audio: set proper N/M in modeset") Cc: <[email protected]> # v4.10+ > After getting suggestion from you and Libin, we do more testing on 4K > monitor for audio delay issue.

I still do not know what the bug is specifically, or why Kabylake, and only Kabylake, needs this. > [Wang, Quanxian] Basically if upstream could provide a reasonable > patch, it will appreciate since you are expert in this area. > Thanks for your understanding. The patch is probably fine. But I can't invent an explanation if I don't know what the problem is.
