The big reason why "assertion flag" is not mandatory is that non-DPCM doesn't
have such flag before. I can't add such flags to all of non-DPCM,
because I don't know which direction (playback/capture) is available on
each DAIs.

How about this ?

	If either playback or capture assertion flag was presented,
	not presented direction will be disabled by ASoC even if
	it was available.

Hmm... is it word selection issue ?? is "must_support" better ?

(playback_xxx, capture_xxx)

(0, 0) : Both are not must item. available direction is used as-is.
         But it will be error if nothing was available.

(1, 0) : DAI must support selected direction.
(0, 1)   Not selected direction will be disabled even though it was available

(1, 1) : Both must be supported.

Yeah, I agree

Thanks. will fix in v4

OK, will do in v4


Thank you for your help !!
