Anyhow, I don't see a problem with adding the node in dts because CONFIG_FSL_SAI is not set in the default config.
I think the assumption is that devices in the devicetree are tested and working. That's not currently the case for sai on imx8mq.
We try to speedup the upstreaming process giving the fact that SAI patches will go through audio maintainer's tree and the DTS patches will most likely go through Shawn's tree.
Ok I can see them being committed concurrently but I haven't even seen a v1 of the sai patches.
Thanks Angus
thanks, Daniel.
