Or, like I say, the drivers for the CODEC should be changed to allow build with no control bus. This is a general problem for all the ASoC drivers and I'm still not sure which way to go. Depending on just SPI support fixes the random build case but doesn't help end users get the driver working so it doesn't seem so useful. If we're only going to be able to fix the random build case then it seems more useful to do so by having the CODEC driver able to build without the control bus, that way individual machine drivers don't need to worry about it. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
