All these SoCs have the HDMI IP block which has one input DAI, connected internally over I2S bus with the IS2 controller. I think there is no advantage in limiting ourselves now only to SoC's for which we currently rely on that DT property in current kernel code, just to update this documentation later when we actually put the property in dts files. In case of exynos5420 we already require #sound-dai-cells for Odroid and I have also a patch for exynos5420-peach-pit board which will need it as well. As far as exynos4210 and exynos4212 are concerned it's a matter of adding support for Odroid-U3, then we will also need this property because we are going to use "multi-codec" (HDMI and external I2S0 pins for CODEC are wired in parallel). In case of exynos5433 it just happens that the code in current driver doesn't require #sound-dai-cells property - one of the reasons I made it this way was to avoid dependency on dts, but it doesn't imply we should describe the HW in DT incompletely. Once the property is in dtbs we can update the driver to use more generic code, instead of open coding things. Actually I have forgotten to add also exynos5250 to the list. -- Regards, Sylwester _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
