Hello Rob,

Thanks for the Review,

Yes, sorry very bad wording, i will change sentence.

Assumption is that  audio feature should be part of the ASoc framework.
This means that we expect to  use of_graph based on a DT description.
of_graph should point to the DAI device. In this case we need to
describe a DAI Alsa device ( associated compatible driver in ASoC):
dfsdm_dai0.
This DAI device is a client of the IIO device dfsdm_adc0 using in-kernel
iio consumer interface, so points to it using io-channels property.

Now as you propose above, i can describe DAI device as a child of the
DFSDM ADC device like this:


	dfsdm: dfsdm at 40017000 {
		compatible = "st,stm32h7-dfsdm";
		reg = <0x40017000 0x400>;
		clocks = <&rcc DFSDM1_CK>;
		clock-names = "dfsdm";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;

		dfsdm_adc0: dfsdm-adc at 0 {
			compatible = "st,stm32-dfsdm-dmic";
			reg = <0>;
			interrupts = <110>;
			dmas = <&dmamux1 101 0x400 0x00>;
			dma-names = "rx";
			st,adc-channels = <1>;
			st,adc-channel-names = "dmic0";
			st,adc-channel-types = "SPI_R";
			st,adc-channel-clk-src = "CLKOUT";
			st,filter-order = <5>;
			
			dfsdm_dai0: dfsdm-dai {
				compatible = "st,stm32h7-dfsdm-dai";
				#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
				io-channels = <&dfsdm_adc0 0>;
				cpu_port: port {
				dfsdm_endpoint: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&dmic0_endpoint>;
				};
			};
		};
	};

Is is something that would sound better for you?

Arnaud
