Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH] sst: Intel SST audio driver

...

This is all driver specific stuff, there's nothing that needs doing here immediately outside of the driver that I can spot right now.

... so the whole messages can be reduced to a sentense: "Rewrite the driver based on ASoC!"

Rework rather than rewrite I think. Plus fix the abuse of the jack inputs etc. Our intent is to do the job properly.

• whether to keep it in upstream or not

I think so - it gets more visiblity and it is already benefitting from that

• where to keep it, in staging or in sound tree

I would prefer staging as again it gets more visibility. The second reason I would prefer that visibility is that separate to the plain ALSA driver there needs to be a bigger discussion around audio offload interfaces and standardizing them.
