And all the existing drivers would have to continue to support "fsl,asrc-width", even if they start to support the new "fsl,asrc-format". The ground rule here is that a newer kernel should be able to work with an old DTB, IIRC. One more concern here is about the format value. Though I don't think those values, defined in asound.h, would be changed, yet I am not sure if it's legit to align DT bindings to a subsystem header file -- I only know that usually we keep shared macros under include/dt-bindings folder. I won't have any problem, if either Rob or Mark has no objection.
