Hm, I only saw this series today would have been good to be on Cc. I've been
working on something very similar. My series goes a bit further though, it
implements an (almost generic) dmaengine based PCM driver using the of
bindings. So you need almost no platform code. The only things that are
platform specific at the moment is the pcm_hardware struct, but I'd like to
replace that in the future with something that queries the pcm hardware
parameter like max_period from the DMA engine driver. And another bit that is
still driver specific is a callback that fills the dma_slave_config struct.
In my series the channels are requested at probe time, so it is possible to
handle -EPROBE_DEFER properly and also we can allocate the audio buffers with
the dma device instead of the sound device, so stupid hacks like
card->dev->dma_mask = &dma_mask;
card->dev->coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);
anymore. I'll try to post the series tomorrow.
