I re-considered about above, and checked current code. If my above understanding was correct, simple-card driver needs many patches to support it. And, it is not easy I want to synchronize basic agreement before starting it. Otherwise, it is easy to reject my many weeks work, and I don't want it. # 1st simple-card DT support used 1 year... My understanding is below. It is good match for my current purpose, and "sampling-rate-convert feature via DPCM" can be standard on simple-card. My concern is simple card code will be not simple... -- non DPCM ---- sound { compatible = "simple-audio-card"; ... cpu { sound-dai = <&cpu-dai>; }; codec { sound-dai = <&codec-dai>; }; }; same as current style -- DPCM ---- sound { compatible = "simple-audio-card"; ... cpu { sound-dai = <&cpu-dai>; }; codec { sound-dai = <&codec-dai>; fixed-sampling-rate = <44100>; }; }; DPCM FE/BE will be FE cpu : cpu-dai codec : dummy BE cpu : dummy codec : codec-dai required route will be created automatically but, it needs "enable DAI name on DAPM route" method anyway -- 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
