That's certainly a reasonable possibility, but we don't have a way to
confirm it as I don't think anyone has access to a setup which uses
I2S bus 1.

I'm willing to bet that when the audio is configured for layout 1, CA_I2S
affects the mapping of individual I2S channels (what I call "words") to
the HDMI channels.

Neither; we know that there are TDA998x devices which allow SPDIF to be
input via two separate pins, but only one to be active at any one time.
Given that the hardware is flexible in that regard, a binding which
artificially restricts that flexibility would seem unwise.
If we were to come across a setup which did route two SPDIF streams to
the TDA998x, and we had to make the decision at run time which to route
to the HDMI sink, we'd have to rework the binding, and we'd have to
support the new binding and the old binding in the driver.
Can you please look at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt ?
I think we may be able to use something like this:
tda998x: hdmi-encoder {
compatible = "nxp,tda998x";
reg = <0x70>;
video-ports = <0x234501>;
port {
tda998x_video: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&lcd0_rgb>;
};
};
port {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
tda998x_spdif0: endpoint@02 {
reg = <0x02>;
remote-endpoint = <&spdif0>;
};
tda998x_spdif1: endpoint@04 {
reg = <0x04>;
remote-endpoint = <&spdif0>;
};
tda998x_i2s: endpoint@03 {
reg = <0x03>;
remote-endpoint = <&i2s>;
};
};
};
I'm adding Philipp Zabel for comment. The issue I see with this is that
we have two ports here which are not mutually exclusive, and it's not
obvious how they are dealt with.
