Yeah I would second that, I have a patch chain that pulls some
bits of Sakamoto-san's previous work and updates the usage in the
ADSP driver that I was hoping to send out for comments before the
meeting. Don't think I will be able to get it out this week but
probably next week. Although that is really just tidying up the
current solution rather than looking at other alternatives.

I would also quite like to start some discussions about what
might be some sensible first steps towards Lar's plans around
rate domains.

Also I might like to have a quick discussion around ways of
handling very large register maps. Obviously, the size of the
regmaps on our CODECs are starting to annoy more than a few
maintainers and it would be good to have a quick discussion on
sensible ways to break that down and make it more managable for
review. Primarily, I have been thinking about grouping more of
the registers with the drivers that are using them and having
less of it centralised in large header files and tables within
the MFD system.

Thanks,
Charles
