Question about soc_bind_aux_dev()

[Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ALSA ML

Do you know why snd_soc_aux_dev has both name and codec_name ??

	struct snd_soc_aux_dev {
=>		const char *name;		/* Codec name */
		...
=>		const char *codec_name;
		...
	};

For example, samsung's speyside.c has both name and codec_name

	static struct snd_soc_aux_dev speyside_aux_dev[] = {
		{
=>			.name = "wm9081",
=>			.codec_name = "wm9081.1-006c",
			...
		},
	};

In my research, there is no driver which is using .name only.
All drivers are having codec_of_node, or .codec_name

Now, in the soc_bind_aux_dev(), it checks .codec_name or codec_of_node first.
This means, there is zero chance to use .name ?

	static int soc_bind_aux_dev(struct snd_soc_card *card, int num)
	{
		...
=>		if (aux_dev->codec_of_node || aux_dev->codec_name) {
			...
			component = soc_find_component(...);
			...
=>		} else if (aux_dev->name) {
			...
			component = soc_find_component(...);
			...
		}
		...
	}

Why .name is needed ??

Thank you for your help !!
Best regards
