Hi Mark, and each driver owner This patch-set try to not use original dummy dlc. "Empty" dlc might be used on Platform, but "dummy" dlc is not needed for it. [PATCH 1/5][PATCH 2/5] removes "dummy" dlc from Platform. Now ASoC have common dummy dlc (= snd_soc_dummy_dlc). [PATCH 3/5][PATCH 4/5] will use it instead of original dummy dlc. Many drivers are using below macro SND_SOC_DAILINK_DEFS(link, DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_CPU(...)), (X) DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_DUMMY()), DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_EMPTY())); But (X) part will create original dummy dlc. [PATCH 5/5] will try not to create original dummy dlc, and replace it to common dummy dlc.
