This is not new feature. Current simple-card already has it. -------------------- commit 2772555b6c5ba79783c04ea6c60549530d737e2e Author: Xiubo Li <Li.Xiubo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 24 15:43:02 2014 +0800 ASoC: simple-card: Add snd_card's name parsing from DT node support If the DT is used and the CPU DAI device has only one DAI, the card name will be like : ALSA device list: 0: 40031000.sai-sgtl5000 And this name maybe a little ugly to some customers, so here the card name parsing from DT node is supported.
