[alsa-devel] simple-audio-card with omap4-dmic

I'm currently working with a PandaBoard clone (OMAP44xx) which doesn't 
have the usual twl6040 codec, however I would like to attach a digital 
microphone directly into the OMAP.

I have added the following to my device tree:

         sound {
                 compatible = "simple-audio-card";
                 simple-audio-card,name = "dmic-card";

                 simple-audio-card,format = "pdm";

                 status = "okay";

                 simple-audio-card,dai-link at 0 {
                         cpu {
                                 sound-dai = <&dmic>;
                         };

                         codec {
                                 sound-dai = <&dmic_codec>;
                         };
                 };
         };

         dmic_codec: dmic_codec {
                 #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
                 compatible = "linux,dmic-codec";
         };

and created a small patch to allow the generic dmic-hifi codec to be 
instantiated from device tree.

However, no soundcards get loaded, and I don't get error or warnings in 
dmesg, so I'm at a bit of a loss at where I'm going wrong. Can anybody 
see any glaring mistakes? I know the driver is definitely getting loaded 
as I have seen errors relating to me not specifying the sound-dai-cells 
from the simple-audio-card driver.

Any ideas would be greatly recieved!

Cheers,
