OK so subject should say "dodec DAIs" then I guess?

Yes this should follow the audio-graph-card.txt example. We end up with
mcbsp3 dts node as below on droid4:
&mcbsp3 {
#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&mcbsp3_pins>;
status = "okay";
ports {
mcbsp3_port: port@0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
cpu_dai3: endpoint@0 {
reg = <0>;
dai-format = "dsp_a";
frame-master = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>;
bitclock-master = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>;
remote-endpoint = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>;
};
cpu_dai_mdm: endpoint@1 {
reg = <1>;
dai-format = "dsp_a";
frame-master = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>;
bitclock-master = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>;
remote-endpoint = <&mot_mdm6600_audio_codec0>;
};
};
};
};
That is pretty much the same as the 'Multi DAI with DPCM' example, with
dne dai, and multiple endpoints. I think we still have just one port
for one i2s transport on the mcbsp :)
Does the above look as what you would expect based on the binding?

Yes I think this is needed for snd-soc-audio-graph-card, and this allows
configuring whatever is needed for the i2s slot. But maybe you have some
better way of doing it in mind?

Oops, that's not good. So should we just keep the old naming if there's
only one endpoint?

I'm not sure what all that would take.

Below is a link to a mailing list thread where Sebastian describes
the audio connection:

Yeah I have slightly older set of the patches in my droid4-pending-v5.5
kernel.org git branch with voice calls working.
