Hi Pavel, I'd love to see the patches :-) I've been trying to figure out the *right* way to add multiple codecs to a single card (and single CPU DAI) for some days now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, -Caleb

Hi!
I must confess I haven't ever tested a system with two Arizona CODECs connected. Yes it seems you would get clashes on the regulator names, I guess that would need to be fixed up. If you were doing so wm831x-ldo.c would probably make a reasonable example.
I guess you would need to be careful with the machine driver as well, you will need to use a snd_soc_codec_conf structure for at least one (although I would do both) of the CODECs to give a prefix for all the widget/control names, otherwise those will clash and everything will probably behave very strangely. See sound/soc/samsung/bells.c for an example doing this for wm9081.
Those are the only two things that spring to mind at the moment but keep me informed on how you are getting on and I will let you know if I can come up with any other traps.
It seems that davinci-evm takes data from device tree, but then uses statically-allocated evm_soc_card, which would lead to problems in dual-codec config....?
That somewhat depends on how you plan on doing things. I had assumed you would be having a single machine driver with both CODECs connected to it, in which case the statically allocated snd_soc_card wouldn't be a problem. However, if you wanted to have two seperate machine drivers with a single CODEC connected to each then you would have an issue.
I guess either approach is reasonable and probably just depends on what your end goal is.
The way dts is set up in my case, I ended up with two snd_soc_cards. It seems to work for me now (on old kernel and with some rather extreme hacks).
I'll most likely clean it up and get into mainline-ready form, but it will take some time. If you want to see the ugly patches, let me know.
