This patch add the sound machine driver for Trats2 board. The codec operate in master mode.
This looks like (and mostly should be) a DTified copy of the littlemill driver. The major differences are the fact that this lacks jack detection, the management of the clock and the fact that instead of picking a fixed clock frequency this tries to adjust based on hw_params(). Ideally we'd be able to merge these drivers so we're keeping up with best practice.
The reason we pick a fixed frequency for littlemill is that the device supports analogue bypass paths which would be broken otherwise which will apply here also I imagine.
+config SND_SOC_SAMSUNG_TRATS2_WM1811
- tristate "SoC I2S Audio support for WM1811 on Tizen Trats2 board"
- depends on SND_SOC_SAMSUNG
- select SND_SAMSUNG_I2S
- select MFD_WM8994
For things outside the audio subsystem it's more common to use a depends instead of a select - the selects are there because the drivers only work with a machine driver and if we go outside the subsystem then since selects aren't recursive we end up breaking elsewhere. For example here we'll end up not selecting MFD_CORE.
