Hi Lee,

One thing I should mention upfront; there is too much code "doing
things" in here for it to be an MFD.  MFDs don't care about; syncs,
slots, TDM, inverting lines, upstreams, downstreams, etc etc etc.
Anything remotely technical or functional, the code that "does things"
should be moved out to the relevant areas.  In the case of this
device, that's looking like one of the Audio related subsystems.

Okay, that's good to know.

I in fact considered that when I started working on it; after all, A2B stands for "automotive audio bus". The reason why I didn't do it was the fact that these devices certainly do have multiple functions, where audio is just one of them, and there needs to be a 'top-level' layer that enables all these functions and does the node discovery etc. Hence I thought it's cleaner to separate things that way.

I can move things over to the ASoC layer for the next iteration, and then maybe also merge the codec driver with the baseline drivers. Let's see how this looks like then.


Thanks,
Daniel
