This function tries to get card name from snd_soc_of_parse_card_name(). and it tries to set card->name from dai_link if card still doesn't have name. So, above is optional 2nd try. Or, do you mean this if (!card->name) can goes to simple-card, instead of utils ? I have no objection about it , but it can be double handling ? Because other simple family have same situation. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
