This seems to be a purely virtual device which remaps the SSC onto the
Linux audio subsystem? If that is the case then it shouldn't appear in
the device tree,
Yes. This is a purely virtual device. I add this as to the following
reason.
In our case, the ssc can connect to audio codec, DAC and other
devices. In order to avoid duplicate the code, so keep ssc as a
library, register it directly in Linux and use remap method to let
it work onto other different subsystem.
Your quote appears to have deleted the bit of my mail where I told you
how to fix this. Is there something unclear in my suggestion that the
machine driver directly reference the SSC node?
Sorry for misunderstand. I split your e-mail into two parts. May be you
miss some parts of my e-mail. You can check the last mail from me. Or
check the following fully quote.
Anyway, I will sent out a RFC patch series (which will be v3) which
register dai and platform directly in Linux.
BRs,
Bo Shen

In order to avoid duplicate the code, so keep ssc as a library, register
it directly in Linux and use remap method to let it work onto other
different subsystem.
So, for ssc connect to audio codec, use dai to remap the SSC onto the
Linux audio subsystem. In this way, just let the dai know which ssc
channel it based on. The remap is just a simple way. Please take
following code as a reference.
---<8---
if (pdev->dev.of_node) {
struct device_node *np = pdev->dev.of_node;
struct device_node *dai_master_np;
dai_master_np = of_parse_phandle(np,
"atmel,dai-master", 0);
if (!dai_master_np) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No SSC for atmel dai");
return -EINVAL;
}
id = of_alias_get_id(dai_master_np, "ssc");
} else {
id = to_platform_device(pdev->dev.parent)->id;
}
ssc = ssc_request(id);
if (IS_ERR(ssc)) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to request SSC %d\n", id);
return PTR_ERR(ssc);
}
ssc_info.ssc = ssc;
pdev->dev.parent = &(ssc->pdev->dev);
--->8---
If ssc connect to other devices, also need to remap to other subsystem.

I am not fully understand this. So, which do you mean as the following
two method or any other else?
Our old method:
using audio machine driver (e.g: sam9g20_wm8731.c) call
atmel_ssc_set_audio function to allocate the platform device for
atmel-ssc-dai and atmel-pcm-audio and then add device.
Code as following:
---<8---
/* Allocate a dummy device for DMA if we don't have one already */
if (!dma_pdev) {
dma_pdev = platform_device_alloc("atmel-pcm-audio", -1);
if (!dma_pdev)
return -ENOMEM;
ret = platform_device_add(dma_pdev);
if (ret < 0) {
platform_device_put(dma_pdev);
dma_pdev = NULL;
return ret;
}
}
ssc_pdev = platform_device_alloc("atmel-ssc-dai", ssc_id);
if (!ssc_pdev)
return -ENOMEM;
/* If we can grab the SSC briefly to parent the DAI device off
it */
ssc = ssc_request(ssc_id);
if (IS_ERR(ssc))
pr_warn("Unable to parent ASoC SSC DAI on SSC: %ld\n",
PTR_ERR(ssc));
else {
ssc_pdev->dev.parent = &(ssc->pdev->dev);
ssc_free(ssc);
}
ret = platform_device_add(ssc_pdev);
--->8---
Other SoC do like this:
register i2s device, and then register dai, finally register
platform. So, only one device.
