[RFC PATCH v4 07/11] media: uapi: Add V4L2_AUDIO_FMT_LPCM fourcc format

[Shengjiu Wang]

Linear Pulse-Code Modulation is used to represent
audio samples in buffer, the samples for each channel
are interleaved.

+Linear Pulse-Code Modulation (LPCM)
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+LPCM audio is coded using a combination of values such as:
+
+Sample rate: which is the number of times per second that samples are taken,
+The typical rates are 8kHz, 11025Hz, 16kHz, 22050Hz, 32kHz, 44100Hz, 48kHz,
+88200Hz, 96kHz, 176400Hz, 192kHz...
+
+Sample format: which determines the number of possible digital values that
+can be used to represent each sample. The format can be SND_PCM_FORMAT_S8,
+SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S24_LE, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S32_LE...
+
+Channels: It is the "location" or "passageway" of a specific signal or
+data in a piece of audio. The channel number can be 1,2,3...
+
+Please refer to https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm.html
+for more detail
+
+Each sample contains several channels data,  the channel data format is
+defined by sample format.
