We have the idea of a 'phandle', which is a unique integer for a node, but there's no way to create phandles from within Linux. They have to exist in the DTS first, and I'm loathe to modify the DTS. Can you not dynamically assign an id? If alsa soc needs a unique id number, then just create a lookup function. Something like of_asoc_phandle_to_codec_id() that will either return a previously assigned id, or will assign a new id. You shouldn't ever need to add data to the tree at runtime. g. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
