But i2s need for pins for full 8 channel output. There are 2 possible S/PDIF pins in the tda998x, and there may be many audio chips with S/PDIF outputs. > > So, the DT description could be reduced to a simple list indexed by > > the pin number (= DAI number) and defining the protocol type. > > > > Examples: > > > > - for the Cubox: > > > > audio-inputs = "i2s", "spdif"; > > > > - for some other board with I2S on the pins 3 and 4 only: > > > > audio-inputs = "none", "none", "i2s", "i2s"; > > > > - for a fully wired TDA9983B (no driver yet): > > > > audio-inputs = "i2s", "i2s", "i2s", "i2s", "spdif"; > > > > If you want to go closer to the original paradigm, then how about > defining following audio-port-names: i2s0, i2s1, i2s2, i2s3, and spdif. > With this approach we could go with your original binding with only > minor changes.

In my original version, the audio-ports are a bitmap of the pins, the bit 0 being the WS used for I2S. A fully wired tda998x would have been as: audio-ports = <0x03>, <0x04>, <0x09>, <0x11>; audio-port-names = "i2s", "spdif", "i2s", "i2s"; With the new version, it would simply become: audio-inputs = "i2s", "spdif", "i2s", "i2s"; -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ -- 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
