Re: [PATCH v13 6/8] media: dt-bindings: wave5: add Chips&Media 521c codec IP support

Hello Krzysztof and Rob,

this question is quite important for our next version and for the
overall direction of the DT bindings, could you have a look at this?

Thank you and Regards,
Sebastian

Is it possible to keep interrupts property as optional given HW can still work
without it if SW does polling of ISR using registers?

The reason to ask is in TI AM62A SoC (which also uses this codec) there is an
SoC errata of missing interrupt line to A53 and we are using SW based polling
locally to run the driver.

We were planning to upstream that SW based polling support patch in CnM driver
once this base initial driver patch series gets merged, but just wanted to
check if upfront it is possible to have interrupts property as optional so
that we don't have to change the binding doc again to make it optional later on.

Also note that the polling patch won't be specific to AM62A, other SoC's too
which use this wave5 hardware if they want can enable polling by choice (by
removing interrupt property)

Could you please share your opinion on this ?

Devarsh
