Hi Mark
Thank you for your feedback
Because many drivers are directly using rtd->codec_dai / rtd->cpu_dai, and it is difficult to lookup CPU/Codec DAI from non categorize DAIs. Thus, we can't support non-categorized DAI at this point.
Now Vinod want to use Multi CPU DAI. If we can support Multi CPU DAI / Multi Codec DAI, we can cleanup current DAI code more. But what do you think ?
Cleaning things up so we don't need to use rtd->cpu_dai and rtd->codec_dai would definitely be nice, it's also useful for CODEC<->CODEC links. Off the top of my head wrapping the accesses with macros/functions then implementing a way of getting the DAI behind them would be tractable?
About cleanup rtd->cpu_dai / rtd->codec_dai topic, I don't know we can do it at this point. But, I'm happy to think about it. I'm thinking like this 1st step: add Multi CPU support 2nd step: Share code between CPU/Codec DAI 3rd step: think about No-Categorized DAI (if possible)
Because many drivers are directly using rtd->cpu_dai, rtd->codec_dai
