Hi Lars Cc Mark
I noticed Analog Devices has adv7511 support on http://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-drivers/drm/adv7511
And I tried this driver on my board, and it works.
if my understanding was correct, latest linux kernel doesn't have adv7511 "sound" support yet. Thus, I would like to have it on linux kernel. According to this driver/file, it is under GPL-2, so it is no problem from license point of view.
According to git log Signd-off-by, Lars/Mark are listed on this adv7511 sound driver. but I wonder why it is not on upstream ? Are there some reason ?? If you don't mind, I would like to send it to ML. This is OK ?
The reason why the driver is not upstream at the moment is that the way it implements things is definitely not the right way. But there is still a lot of discussion on what actually is the right way to implement audio support for HDMI devices. Once that has been sorted out the driver will hopefully go upstream.
