Also we will need some phandle reference to the audio codec here. As
this property is ongoing work in ASoC core, I suggest we wait for it
and propose a binding afterwards.

No, as discussed this should be in the binding for the audio subsystem
not in the binding for an individual component in that subsystem.


Mark,

I do understand there may be SoCs requiring sophisticated extra audio
nodes, but Marvell SoCs don't. I prefer having a single node for the
i2s controller *and* exploit the audio subsystem properties from that.

For Marvell audio, we only need a single node for all three ASoC
drivers. No other subsystem _requires_ you to have extra nodes for
it's needs. If you can provide interrupts, just have an interrupt-
controller property. If you can provide clocks, you can link to that
very node - no virtual device node required. Even for media they
do not insist on a virtual node but they do have generic properties
you can exploit.

If you insist on creating a virtual sound card node just because
ASoC wants it that way - okay, your call. But I don't see any value
in that.
