I2S is only the DAI. You typically have a separate > platform driver for the whole card, or just use simple-card. An other device is not needed. The layout is simple: I2S_controller (CPU DAI) <-> HDMI_CODEC (CODEC DAI) The HDMI CODEC is supported by the HDMI video driver (only one device), so, it cannot be the card device. ASoC does not use the CPU DAI device (I2S_controller), so, it is natural to use it to handle the card. Otherwise, the simple-card asks for a node definition in the DT and this node is a pure Linux software entity. On the other side, the simple-graph-card from Kuninori is not useful for this simple case. -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ -- 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
