These slots definitions are set at the ALSA sound card sub-nodes. So, I can have multiple codec in the PEF2256. For instance: framer { compatible = "lantiq,pef2256", "simple-mfd"; ... pef2256_codec0: codec0 { compatible = "lantiq,pef2256-codec"; #sound-dai-cells = <0>; }; pef2256_codec1: codec1 { compatible = "lantiq,pef2256-codec"; #sound-dai-cells = <0>; }; }; sound { compatible = "simple-audio-card"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 { /* CPU DAI1 - pef2256 codec 1 */ reg = <0>; cpu { sound-dai = <&cpu_dai1>; }; codec { sound-dai = <&pef2256_codec0>; dai-tdm-slot-num = <4>; dai-tdm-slot-width = <8>; /* TS 2, 3, 4, 5 */ dai-tdm-slot-tx-mask = <0 1 1 1 1>; dai-tdm-slot-rx-mask = <0 1 1 1 1>; }; simple-audio-card,dai-link@1 { /* CPU DAI2 - pef2256 codec 2 */ reg = <1>; cpu { sound-dai = <&cpu_dai2>; }; codec { sound-dai = <&pef2256_codec1>; dai-tdm-slot-num = <4>; dai-tdm-slot-width = <8>; /* TS 6, 7, 8, 9 */ dai-tdm-slot-tx-mask = <0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1>; dai-tdm-slot-rx-mask = <0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1>; }; }; }; To solve this, I can use #sound-dai-cells = <1>; but this will complicate the driver itself and is it really needed ? Having "simple-mfd" dans sub-nodes keep all things simple. Regards, Hervé -- Hervé Codina, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
