It's often an indication > that you are doing something wrong if you need this. >From looking at the code in sound/soc/sti/uniperif_player.c, there is one sysconf register called "Audio glue config" which is shared by all of the uniperif IP instances. This binding is being used to generate a bitoffset into this shared register based on the instance of the IP. I guess the alternative is to have an explosion of compatibles? st,sti-uni-player-1 st,sti-uni-player-2 st,sti-uni-player-3 If not what would you recommend instead? :-) I don't currently have access to the functional spec for this IP block, but I have asked ST to send it to me to see if there is any other way to derive this information (although I suspect there won't be). FYI I didn't actually write or upstream that driver. However fdma is a depedency of the ASoC driver and it is required to get working audio upstream. It's also worth pointing out that this ASoC driver has been merged for a while, so I'm not sure what your opinion is of now changing the DT bindings? Obviously it is currently not used by anyone upstream due to the missing fdma depedency. regards, Peter. -- 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
