[alsa-devel] About ALSA SoC cpu/codec asymmetry

Hi Mark, Stephen, Lars

Now, ALSA SoC is using "component" style, and its image is like this.

ALSA SoC - platform - component (as CPU) - codec - component

It is still not symmetry, and confusable. I guess this is understandable.

ALSA SoC - platform - cpu - component - codec - component

If we add "cpu", it needs "cpu name", same as current "codec name" on soc_bind_dai_link(). I guess it can keep compatible if it allows "NULL" name on "cpu name" at this point. (but print warning ?)

What do you think ?
