Hi Jiaxin,

yes, that's what I figured. What I was saying is that for the binding, your
example was

i2s0-share = "I2S1"
   ^ even,input  ^ odd,output

while on mt8192-asurada-spherion the use case is

i2s9-share = "I2S8";
   ^ odd,output  ^ even,input

So Angelo's idea to require in the dt-binding that the left side is always even
(input) and the right side always odd (based on your example), wouldn't work for
my use case.

Basically it's a question of whether the input always shares the clock from an
output (your example), or if output always shares the clock from an input (my
use case), or if both are valid. I'm taking from this that both are valid, so I
won't add any such restriction in the dt-binding in the following version, but
do let me know if this is not the case.

Thanks,
Nícolas
