We use the 'sound' node name for the sound card itself. The case with McASP is
a bit complicated. It can operate in I2S mode (and similar protocols like RJM,
LJM, TDM) or it can interface with S/PDIF, IEC60958-1, AES-3 codecs.
The mode we put McASP depends on the external components, so the same McASP
can be used in I2S mode in one board while on the other it can be S/PDIF.
It would have been convenient if I could use 'i2s' as node name but it is not
true for McASP (Tegra, Exynos for example have I2S, AC97, S/PDIF as separate IP).
IMHO the 'mcasp' is still the best node name for this IP. McASP stands for:
'Multichannel Audio Serial Port' and this is pretty much what McASP is.
