I agree. I see two possible syntaxes:
- keep the same definitions in the containers:
sound { compatible = "simple-audio-card"; simple-audio-card,name = "Cubox Audio";
simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 { /* I2S - HDMI */ simple-audio-card,cpu { sound-dai = <&audio1 0>; format = "i2s"; }; simple-audio-card,codec { sound-dai = <&tda998x 0>; }; };
simple-audio-card,dai-link@1 { /* S/PDIF - HDMI */ simple-audio-card,cpu { sound-dai = <&audio1 1>; }; simple-audio-card,codec { sound-dai = <&tda998x 1>; } }; ...
I vote for the version above. As Mark said there is need for dai specific properties.
While we are at it we could update the bitclock-master and frame-master syntax to be like this:
bitclock-master = "cpu" frame-master = "codec"
With the above explicit definition all the daifmt settings could be defined in link level. For backwards compatibility we could still define that omitting the value equals "codec" and omitting the property equals "cpu".
It may sometimes be helpful to allow overwriting link level settings in dai level. In order to do that it should be possible to write all daifmt settings explicitly like this:
bitclock-inversion = <0>; /* <0> = no bitclock-inversion */
If backward compatibility is necessary we could recognize the syntax version from the existence dai-link node.
sound { compatible = "simple-audio-card"; simple-audio-card,name = "Simple Audio"; simple-audio-card,widgets = ... simple-audio-card,routing = ...
simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 { /* I2S - codec */ format = "i2s"; bitclock-master = "codec"; frame-master = "codec"; bitclock-inversion = <1>; simple-audio-card,cpu { sound-dai = <&audio1 0>; bitclock-inversion = <0>; }; simple-audio-card,codec { sound-dai = <&codec 0>; system-clock-frequency = <12000000>; }; }; ...
I can participate in the implementation too.
