The (unit address part == first reg property value) is from the ePAPR and still documented in http://www.devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage. It isn't explicitly stated as a hard requirement, but it is worded in such a way that I'd expect it to hold true most of the time :/ > > > So that's not going to work very well... because the AP register is a > > > bitmask. > > > > > > I guess we could specify a node unit and reg, which the code otherwise > > > ignores, and specify a philipps,ap-mask = property for the audio ports > > > instead. > > > > Also, the video and audio ports must be distinguished.

I'd rather have the driver determine the type of the port. Ideally it could know that port 0 always is video and all other ports are audio, otherwise checking the existence of a custom property in the 'port' node should work, for example 'nxp,audio-port' or 'nxp,video-port'. Why are those located in the 'endpoint' nodes in your example? Are you expecting to dynamically reconfigure the port type of a given AP from i2s to spdif depending on the activated endpoint? > > The port type is identified by the bit AP0. > > I don't particularly like that - that makes the assumption that AP0 > always means I2S.

I wonder if it wouldn't be nicer to have the AP# and type in the device tree and then calculate the register value from that in the driver. port@1 { reg = <1>; /* AP1 */ nxp,audio-port = "i2s"; tda998x_i2s: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&audio1_i2s>; }; }; regards Philipp _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
