Samsung i2s driver registers the platform device twice one for the samsung-i2s.0,1 or 2 and two for samsung-i2s.4(which actually doesn't represent any H/W peripheral). The max number of I2S blocks on any Samsung SoC are 3, the secondary device registration starts with device number 4.The second time registration is for the secondary fifo interface of a CPU dai if any exists.
With DT support the device number in the driver is always -1, I used alias id for the above purpose.
So, the thing here is that while the numbers were totally OK for platform device use they really don't fit into DT at all well. I think the thing here is to either have a node for the second CPU side DAI or to have a single DT link automatically expanded into two DAI links. I think the second option is much better - there's only one link on the board, it just happens to get expanded into two the way things are currently implemented in ASoC.
Could you please explain me in more detail about "single DT link automatically expanded into two DAI links". How this can be done?
This stuff probably also ought to be moved over to soc-pcm as well by the way.
Thanks Padma
