I still don't think those two properties are correct. Exactly what node will those phandles point at? There definitely should not be a DT node for any "dummy CODEC", irrespective of whether this binding calls the other node a "CODEC" or a "dummy CODEC". If these properties are to contain phandles, it would be acceptable for the referenced node to be: * A node representing the physical connector/jack on the board. * A node representing some other IP block on the board, such as an HDMI encoder/display-controller I think those options are unlikely in general, so I think instead these properties should just be Boolean indicating that "something" is connector to the S/PDIF RX/TX, without specifying what that "something" is. It doesn't matter what at least in the connector/jack case, although perhaps it does in the HDMI encoder/display-controller? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
