IOW, NAU8821_CLK_* does not configure here the clock > of the system, but only, only clock of the codec. The system clock is controlled at the DAI level, it's specific to one DAI on one component. The simple-card device node has sub-nodes for the DAI links, and each DAI link node has sub-nodes for the DAIs within the link. "system-clock-id" is a property on the DAI nodes, so it's not a card-level property, just one part of the overall card definition. Since the clock ID is something defined by the codec it would naturally be a value defined by the codec, but the *configuration* of the codec is part of the sound card because it depends on how everything is connected together. If you used the same codec in a different machine it would have a different configuration. Regards, Aidan
